MyWeb - Using Fugu

About Fugu

Fugu is a free program that allows users of Mac OS X to transfer files using secure FTP (SFTP) or secure copy (SCP) to their accounts on remote servers. It provides essentially the same functionality as many FTP programs (such as Fetch), but all information is sent in a secure transmission.

Fugu runs only on Mac OS X. Windows users can use WinSCP for transferring files to and from MyWeb.

Downloading & Installing Fugu

  1. Download the latest version of Fugu, saving the disk image file to your Desktop.
  2. Open the Fugu disk image file (if it is not automatically opened for you), clicking on Agree when prompted.
  3. The Fugu program icon will be copied to your Desktop. We recommend that you drag it to the Dock.

Using Fugu to access MyWeb

  1. Open Fugu by clicking on the Fugu icon in the Dock.
  2. In the Connect To box, type in myweb.csuchico.edu, then type your Portal username in the Username box. Make sure that the Port box reads 22. When you click Connect, you will be prompted for a password. Enter your Portal password.

  3. When you successfully login, your home directory on MyWeb will appear on the right side of the Fugu window. You can drag files here to copy them to your MyWeb account. Your Mac's hard drive is displayed on the left side of the window.

    Any files you create that are to be a part of your web page should be copied to the public_html driectory. You can open the public_html directory by double-clicking on it.
