How to transfer files to/from departmental servers:
Macintosh Users
- The best and easiest way to do this on the Mac is to connect using Netatalk via Appleshare.
- Click on the Go menu and choose “Connect to Server” and enter in: stat.wvu.edu
- Note: if connecting from home you must add port 12000 as follows: stat.wvu.edu:12000
- Then connect with your username and password. An icon will appear on your desktop, which is your home directory on the server. Simply drag and drop files to/from that folder.
