Using FileZilla to Access Panther

 

Logging in to Panther with FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla Client. (Start / program / filezilla ftp client / filezilla)

2. Click “OK” at the Welcome window if one appears.

3. Filezilla's client window will appear. You will see all the files in your local system in the "local site" middle left pane. Clicking on the folders causes the files in the folders to display in the pane under "local site". If the list of files is hidden, make your window larger. 

4. Navigate to C:\my_public_html

4. Go to "File" in the Toolbar and select “Site manager."

5. If your name is not already created, Click "New Site." And change the name "new site" to your own.

6. Enter or select the necessary information within the respective fields:

Hostname: panther.adelphi.edu

Port: 22

Servertype: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol

Logontype: Ask for password

User: Your Adelphi eCampus universal username

7. Hit the “Connect” button

 

8. Enter your eCampus password

9. If asked: Check off the box next to “Always trust this host, add this key to the cache” and click the “OK” button.

 

10. Correct login will result in access to your directory.

You will see "directory listing successful" in the top pane. If there are errors, copy that top pane to help describe the problem when you ask for help.

You will see all the folders on panther under the "Remote Site" far right panel. You will also see your panther account number under the folder "home". Mine is pe16132.

 

11. Open your web site folder on panther by double clicking your panther account and then public_html. All the web folders are in public_html. Your web site will start by displaying index.html inside that folder.

 

 

 

 

13. Copy files where you want them to go:

·    Ensure that "local site" says c:\my_public_html and "remote site" says "/home/<your account>/public_html. This is VERY IMPORTANT.

·    To copy files from your system to the web: drag from left to right.

·    To copy files from the web to your system: drag from right to left.

 

NOTE:  Be careful about clicking in the lower pane. Double clicking on a file in the lower pane will copy it to the folder that is on the other side. You can also drag from one pane to the other.

 

14. To verify that files are on the internet, open your internet browser to site: www.adelphi.edu/~<your panther account>. My site is www.adelphi.edu/~pe16132

 

Extra Tips:

 

Filezilla keeps disconnecting me. Can I make it leave me connected for longer?

 Set the keep alive setting:

Is there any way to set up Filezilla so I don't have to navigate to the right folders?
