Getting Started with WinSCP

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:
