Large File Transfer

Sometimes getting a large file from one person to another is difficult, especially if it's too large for email or the P: drive. We've tried to create a fairly simple solution.

Here's an example of what the login screen should look like.
  • Visit Files.Dreamhost.com
  • Click the SFTP/SCP tab if it’s not already selected.
  • Enter the following information:
    • Host: ftp.mfrl.org
    • Port: 22
    • Username: staffbox
    • Initial Directory: /home/staffbox/uploads/
    • Authentication Type: Password
    • Password: See the Systems Administrator for this
  • Click Connect


To send/upload files: Click the Upload button (at the far left on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen).

To retrieve/download files: Click the small gray dropdown arrow between the icon and filename of file desired; select Download from the popup menu.

If organization is needed, you can create folders by clicking the "+" button on the lower toolbar.
