Transferring files to and from the Linux systems

There are three basic techniques for transferring files to and from the Linux computers.

• By network: You can download and upload files from elsewhere using an SFTP client to connect to grendel.hendrix.edu. Suggested graphical clients (all free) are:
  • Linux: On the Konqueror Web browser, go to sftp://grendel.hendrix.edu.
  • MacOS: Use Fugu.
  • Windows: Use WinSCP.
  If you prefer text mode, most Linux and MacOS computers will have sftp already installed, and you can use PuTTY for Windows.

• By foot: If you have a USB drive with you, you can plug it in and open the file browser (e.g., selecting "Home" under the System submenu). From the Go menu, select "Devices". From there, you can view the contents of the USB drive.

• By mail: While on a Linux computer, you may e-mail files to yourself via attachment, using your Web Mail account (https://mercury.hendrix.edu).
