Mount your UBfs space

Use SSHFS if you are using a Linux distribution that supports FUSE, such as Ubuntu.

Upload and download files using sftp

Connect to UBunix from either a terminal or console from the command line using your UBITname:

sftp UBITname@ubunix.buffalo.edu

No characters will appear when you enter your password. The prompt sftp> will appear.

Navigate to your filespace by typing:

cd /ubfs/myfiles/1st_letter_UBITname/2nd_letter_UBITname/UBITname

where 1st_letter__UBITname and 2nd_letter_UBITname are the first and second letters of your UBITname.

Transfer files by using get and put:

get <file>	downloads <file> and saves it on your local machine
put <file>	uploads <file> and stores it in your current UBfs folder

Type exit to quit sftp.
