Getting started with WinSCP:
WinSCP is a program that you can use to upload files from your computer to your New Paltz web space. Creating a profile in WinSCP in any Windows lab on campus, click on the WinSCP icon that you'll find in the "Start" menu. If you are not in a lab on campus you also have the option to download the client to your own PC from the WinSCP site. To install WinSCP, just double-click on the downloaded installer and accept all of the defaults; continue clicking "next" until you reach "Finish."
Initial WinSCP Set-up:
The first time you run WinSCP, you will see a window like this:
Enter the following details, as listed below:
- Host name: shell.newpaltz.edu
- Port number: 22
- User name: Your NPCUID
- Password: Your password
- Protocol: SFTP (allow SCP fallback)
Select the "Save..." button; this will display the above window again. To continue, select "Login."
