SFTP for History of Geology

Various readings (pdf files) and illustrations will be supplied for this course. These items are available for downloading to student computers via secure file transport protocol (SFTP).

FileZilla is recommended. Download the free FileZilla client software appropriate for your computer operating system. Other software that supports SFTP may be utilized, although students may have to modify these procedures slightly to accommodate their own computer systems.
