How can files be transferred (via ftp) to and from those outside of FACS that are too large for email attachments?

Colleagues outside of the college can retrieve and send files using FTP on the FACS server Hestia working on the T: Drive.

• If you want to have your colleagues access a file, first save the file you wish to have available to the T: Drive on Hestia
• Send email to your colleague, telling them to point their Web Browser to ftp://guest@hestia.fcs.uga.edu
• When requested, have them enter the password fileexpress
• They will now see everything that is in the T: Drive

The following shows how to Retrieve and Send files from and to FACS from outside of the college using Internet Explorer and Firefox
