Fugu SCP Client for MacOS X

Getting Started with Fugu

Fugu is a graphical frontend to the commandline Secure File Transfer application (SFTP). SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is encrypted, meaning no passwords are sent in cleartext form, and is thus much less vulnerable to third-party interception. It allows you to take advantage of SFTP's security without having to sacrifice the ease of use found in a GUI. Fugu also includes support for SCP files transfers, and the ability to create secure tunnels vi SSH. It is available from rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/download.html

Once you open Fugu, you will see a screen similiar to the one below.

Input your Connect to (ex. i7.msi.umn.edu), Username (ex. goldy), and Port (this should always be 22) as seen below.

Once you have selected Connect, you will see both directories on your machine and the host you have connected to.

By selecting a file and then the correct directional arrow you can "get" or "put" files to either machine.

If you have an account on any of the Institute's machines and have difficulties, please contact help@msi.umn.edu or call (612) 626-0802.
