If you want to submit a file to the teacher folder before you come to class you may do so using a transfer application that uses SFTP (secure file transfer protocol). (Note: if you choose to use transfer files directly to the teacher folder, please be sure to use Webspace to back up your file.) The following instructions will take you through the process of downloading the application you will need to connect to the teacher folder from home, logging in to the system, and uploading your files.

Go to http://www.utexas.edu/its/bevoware/, and select the link to "Download Now." You will be asked to enter your UTEID in order to gain access to Bevoware.

Read the "Bevoware Usage Statement" in full and, if you agree, select Agree.

Bevoware will welcome you to the Web version of Bevoware, and should identify the operating system platform you are using. If Bevoware has not correctly identified your platform, select the correct one from the pull down menu. If you are not sure what platform you are using, contact the ITS Help Desk.

Select the "Utilities" link from the list of available software.

Find Fetch 5.3 and select Download.

Follow the instructions for installing Fetch 5.3.

Save Fetch to your desktop or to wherever you prefer to save downloaded applications.

If you save Fetch to your desktop, you will see the following icon. Double click on it to install Fetch.

Follow the installation screen and drag the fetch icon into the applications folder.

If you have not already registered Fetch, a registration window will appear each time you start the application. To prevent this from happening, click on the "Enter Serial..." button in that window, then type in the registration information that is stated in the "UT Fetch Registration Number" document in the bottom right-hand corner.

The Fetch opening screen looks like this:

In the Host Name field, enter syverson.cwrl.utexas.edu. In the User Name field, enter the username with which you log in to CWRL computers. In the Connect using field, select SFTP from the list. Enter your password. Then press the button with the upside-down triangle inside. This should reveal more fields. Enter 1701 into the port field. For security reasons we use port 1701 instead of the default. You can leave the rest blank. Hit connect.

The right side of the screen will show the contents of your teacher folder. The left side of the screen will show the contents of your computer's desktop.

To transfer files from your computer to the teacher folder, simply click and drag a file into the screen. Reverse the action to transfer files from the teacher folder to your computer. If you need to get to contents within certain folders, double-click on the folder and you will see the contents.

Please note that while accessing the teacher folder from home is a convenient way to transfer files, you should always keep at least one backup of your file. It is your responsibility to make sure you have a copy of the file when it is due.
