• How to use sftp
  1. Open a command window on your Mac

  2. Cd (change directory) to your project directory on your Mac

  3. Then execute the command: sftp yourEmoryNetID@lab0z.mathcs.emory.edu on your Mac

  4. Login with your Emory password.

     You will see this prompt:

     sftp>

  5. Inside the sftp program, type these commands:

     sftp> cd folderName (e.g.: cd cs255/hw2) Note: if the folderName starts with a ~ (i.e.: ~/folderName), then you need to replace ~ with /home/yourNetID. E.g.: If I (cheung) want to change directory to ~/graded-work/MT, I use: cd /home/cheung/cs255/graded-work/MT Then: 1. use the get command to transfer a file from Emory to your Mac E.g.: sftp> get fileNameOnEmory 2. use the put command to transfer a file from your Mac to Emory E.g.: sftp> put fileNameOnYourMac

• Warning:

  The Mac has the nasty habit of renaming a transfered file So you may find your transfered file has a .txt suffix after transfering it to your Mac You need to rename the file back to its original name....
