You can
download Putty sFTP (psftp.exe)
from the same place you get PuTTY.
After launching psftp.exe (or any other secure FTP program) type:
open YborStudent.hccfl.edu
It will prompt for user-id and your password.
After sucessfully loggin in you will see the sFTP prompt.
There are a number of commands you can type at this prompt,
enter "help" to see a list.
The most important ones are:
pwd
cd
lpwd
lcd
These command show and change the current directory on the
remote system (pwd, cd)
and the local system (lpwd, lcd).
ls
!dir
These commands show the files on the remote and local system.
get file
put file
These commands download (get) and upload (put)
some file.
(You can use wild-cards to transfer several files with one command.)
bye
This command ends the sFTP session.
Note that Unix text files handle end of line differently than Windows/DOS text files. To correctly view a Unix text file on a Windows system, using Notepad for instance, requires converting the text file from Unix to windows format. Unix provides these commands you can use before downloading (that is, these aren't sFTP commands, they are Unix commands that can't be executed from the sFTP prompt):
unix2dos
dos2unix
