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 sections.

Find SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 and select Download.

Follow the instructions for installing SSH 3.2.9.

Open SSH by clicking on the icon that looks like a folder with blue bubbles around it and is named, "Secure Shell Transfer Client."

The SSH opening screen looks like this:

In SSH, select Quick Connect.

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. Enter 1701 into the port field. For security reasons we use port 1701 instead of the default. Hit connect and, when asked, enter your CWRL password.

The right side of the screen will show the contents of your teacher folder (labelled Local Name). The left side of the screen will show the contents of your computer's desktop (labelled Remote Name).

To transfer files from your computer to the teacher folder, simply click and drag a file from the left side of the screen to the right side of 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. To return to go back a step, click the folder icon that has the green arrow in it.

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.
