Datatransfer via FTP

After the connection to the server has been successfully established, you will see the contents of your local computer on the left-hand side of the programme window, and the contents of the remote server on the right-hand side.

Change to the directory public_html. Here you can edit all files (create, change, rename, delete). Drag and drop files with the mouse to transfer them from the local computer to the remote server (and vice versa).

With »WinSCP« you can increase the security with which your password is stored in the connection destination quite easily: To do this, assign a main password.

This is requested only once after the program start (until you restart the program) and is used to encrypt your password.

To do this, go to Tools/Settings in the login screen, then select Security and set the optionUse main password.

At the first start, the program interface is set to English; other languages can be added (German in this example):

1. Click on Tools/Preferences in the login screen.
2. Then select the item Environment/Languages.
   Click on the Get more... button.
3. A browser window opens with the download page for more language files.
   Click on the download link for the desired language.
4. Click on the download link for the desired language. The file you have just downloaded (zip archive) contains a single language file. Copy it into the program directory of »WinSCP«.
5. Close the window with the settings and open it again (see point 1.), select the item Environment/Languages – now you can select German here and apply it with OK.

Enter the required data directly into the »Quickconnect bar«:

• Host: ftpes://webuser.uni-weimar.de
  (Important to entert he protocol ftpes:// before the server name!)
• Username and Password are your Bauhaus login Data

During the first connection you will be confronted with a message »The server's certificate is unknown«.
Why? FileZilla can't identify the Root Certificate.

You can check if the certificate is valid using the fingerprints seen on the picture.

After the connection is established filezilla will display the data of your local machine on the left and the data on the server on the right.

Change to the directory public_html. Now you can work with your data ( create, edit, rename, delete ). When you are ready, just drag and drop your data to the desired destination

If you receive an error message »Directory content could not be received«, please switch to the settings. Under Connection › FTP › Active Mode, please restrict Local Ports to the range from 13000 to 13200.
