User:Rewood/How can I ftp to Eos/Unity

Problem: I am trying to ftp to unity.ncsu.edu but when I give my password I get "login incorrect". I made several attempts. My password got me logged in so why can't I ftp? Solution: You should ftp into one of the following hosts ftp.ncsu.edu The host names "unity.ncsu.edu" and "eos.ncsu.edu" are used for e-mail, but not for ftp. If you are doing this from a Windows machine, the best way to do this is to open up an MS-DOS Command Prompt. Change to the directory that you want to transfer a file to/from and then type the following: ftp ftp.ncsu.edu This should bring up a window asking you for a Username and password. You will need to put in your UNITY username and password there. From that point, just change your directories to where the file(s) are located. To get a copy of the file, type "get filename" and to upload something type "put filename" Where "filename" represents the name of the file. If you are on a Macintosh, you will need to use a program called Fetch. If you have any questions, please call the NCSU Computing Services Help Desk at 919-515-HELP, or email us at help@ncsu.edu.
