How do I download and transfer files between computers (using SFTP)?

You can use MFile on the web. See Using Your IFS Home Directory Over the Web with MFile (S4311).

Or you can use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) software to download and upload files.

• Windows. Use SSH Secure Shell software. For information about obtaining and using SSH Secure Shell, see Using SSH Secure Shell to Transfer Files with sftp [Windows] (S4299).

• Mac OS X. We recommend that you use the Fugu program, which provides a graphical user interface to the secure file transfer capability of the Mac OS. You can download Fugu from the Blue Disc website.
