In Mac OS X, how do I use Cyberduck to transfer files?

To use Cyberduck to transfer files via SFTP:

1. Double-click the CyberDuck icon. (In the Student Technology Centers [STCs] at Indiana University, this icon appears in the Communications folder.) When Cyberduck opens, at the upper left, click Open Connection... , or from the File menu, select Open Connection... .
   
   
2. In the menu next to "Protocol:", select SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) .
   
   
3. In the "Server:" field, type the address of the remote host to which you wish to connect (e.g., quarry.uits.indiana.edu or mercury.uits.indiana.edu).
   
   
4. In the "Login:" and "Password:" fields, type your username and passphrase for the remote computer. To save your password to the Keychain, check Add to Keychain.
   
   
5. To log into a directory other than your home directory, click More Options at the bottom of the window. Type the directory name in the "Path:" field (e.g., www).
   
   
6. Click Connect to open the SFTP connection.

   Note: The first time you connect to a host in the STCs, Cyberduck will display a warning saying "Unknown host key for server.uits.indiana.edu." Click Allow to continue.

7. A window will open displaying the list of files on the remote host. To upload files or folders, drag them from Finder windows into the Cyberduck window. To download files or folders, drag them from Cyberduck into the Finder.
