For UVA only:

Sharing Large (Audio/Video) files

UVA provides an anonymous ftp site (ftp.virginia.edu) that can be accessed via the web where files can be placed and accessed freely.

Here are instructions for a computer located in a UVA office:

1) Files already on the server can be downloaded by using your web browser to go to the following ftp site: ftp.virginia.edu

• Navigate to public_access/fromUVA
• Find the directory or file you want to download
• Right-click on the filename and copy/paste as you would from any other directory.

2) To upload files from your hard drive to the anonymous ftp site:

• Use an ftp program (SecureFX or WSftp) to connect to ftp.virginia.edu
• Log on with USERID "anonymous" and PASSWORD <your email/eservices userid> (DON'T USE YOUR REAL PASSWORD!)
• Navigate to public_access/toUVA
• You should be able to create folders and upload files to these folders. (The convention is to create a folder named with your userid--so, I use dl2h.)
• NB: This is a temporary transfer site -- Files may potentially be deleted by the end of each day. Also, you will not be able to remove files you have placed on this site.

Here are instructions for a computer NOT located in a UVA office:

1) As above, except that you navigate to the public_access/toUVA directory

2) As above, except that you navigate to the public_access/toUVA directory
