1172What settings should I use for file transfer when accessing my Sussex home directory remotely?
Staff and students can get access to Sussex files from home using a file transfer program. You will need to download and install a suitable program (such as , WinSCP, Fetch or Filezilla -see our file transfer guide for more details) and then connect with these settings:
- Host name: unix.sussex.ac.uk (to connect to your N: drive)
- Port number: 22
- User name: your IT username
- Password: your password
- Protocol/method: SFTP
Windows Remote
If you're a member of staff, you might consider using Windows Remote when working away from the campus. Windows Remote gives you access to a full PC desktop from home: you can use applications such as Microsoft Office and browse files as if you were sitting at a PC on the campus. If you want to do more than transfer a few files, and have experience of using a Sussex PC, you will probably find this a very useful service.
