How to use SFTP with FileZilla
Files uploaded and downloaded using FTP are not encrypted. This means that files sent using FTP can be easily intercepted and read by someone with malicious intent. This includes the password you use to connect to the FTP server. SFTP is a secure alternative to FTP. The instructions below explain how to use FileZilla, the CCIT recommended SFTP client.
Managing Network Storage Space
Your individual profile and departmental directories are a part of a larger, shared network space. This storage is finite.
Managing profile space: finding and deleting large files
Often large files, or a large number of smaller files, accumulate over time. If such files are a result of incidental personal use, please remove them as soon as possible.
Managing profile space: finding and deleting temporary files
Large temporary files, or a large number of small temporary files, accumulate in your profile over time. Often these temporary files are created by various applications that do not have the decency to cleanup after themselves. Such temporary files can take up a lot of space in your profile. Please use the following instructions to find and delete these files in your profile.
