If you need further assistance, please request help from a Student Tech.
Windows (Using SSH Client)
Windows users can use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to connect to the Pantheon (or another SSH login host). For these instructions, SSH must have been downloaded and installed from the Yale Software Library .
To access the Pantheon for an FTP-like session with SSH:
- Open the Secure File Transfer Client from the Start menu.
- Click on the File menu and select Connect, or select the Quick Connect button.
- A "Connect to Remote Host" box should appear.
- Type eli.yale.edu in the "Host Name" box.
- Type your NetID in the "User Name" box.
- Click Connect.
- Type the host name or IP address of the computer you are connecting to in the "Host Name" box.
- Type your account name on the host system in the "User Name" box.
- Click Connect.
- An "Enter Password" box should appear. Type in your password for the system. If you are connecting to the Pantheon, this will simply be your NetID password. Then click OK.
- The first time you connect to each host, you will see a "Host Identification" window that presents the host's public key. You should click Yes to save the new key onto your system.
- You should now be logged in to the system, with a list of the files and folders in your Pantheon account.
- Quit the Secure File Transfer Client when you are done by clicking on the File menu and choosing Exit.
- To connect to the Pantheon:
- To connect to the another computer:
File transfers can now be accomplished through the Operation menu. To download a file, you can click once on it and then select Operation --> Download. Uploading a file can be done by selecting Operation --> Upload, and then browsing for the file.
Alternately, you can download files by clicking on them and dragging them into the target folder. You can also upload files by choosing them in My Computer and dragging them into your Pantheon folders.
MacOS X (Using Fugu)
Mac OSX users can use Fugu to connect to the Pantheon for file transfer. Fugu is available for download at the Yale Software Library. These instructions assume you have Fugu downloaded and installed.
- To access the Pantheon for file transfer with Fugu:
- Open Fugu by double-clicking on its icon.
- Enter eli.yale.edu in the window, and your NetID for "Username." You can leave the rest blank.
- A password box should now pop up. Enter your NetID password.
- You should now be logged in to the system. On the left side is a list of files and folders on the computer you are on. On the right side is a list of files and folders in your Pantheon account.
- Press the "Disconnect" icon when you are done.
To upload files to your Pantheon account, locate them in the left window. Then drag them to the appropriate folder in your Pantheon space in the right window. You can also drag files from your Pantheon space to your computer to download from the Pantheon.
Note: If it has been a while since you tried connecting to the Pantheon using Fugu, there is a possibility that it is using an incorrect host key. This may produce an error warning of a possible man-in-the-middle attack. In such a case, go into Applications, then into Utilities, and open Terminal. Then, in the terminal, type rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts and press enter to delete the known hosts file. Then try logging back in using Fugu.
