UPLOADING files to ATHENA

To copy files to and from your Athena account when using a machine
that doesn't have an AFS client (such as most windows machines), you
will need to use a program that can do 'sftp' 'Kerberised FTP' or
'scp'.
  
In most cases, you can visit:
  http://web.mit.edu/software/
  
to download something suitable.  SecureFX is availble for Windows, and
Fetch is available for Mac OS X.
  
Once you have a file transfer program, you should be able to connect to
ftp.dialup.mit.edu and login with your Athena username and password.
  
For Unix/Linux and the Mac OS X Terminal, you probably already have a
command-line scp installed, which will work.  To upload using scp, you
would run something like:

    scp file1 file2 username@ftp.dialup.mit.edu:/mit/username

To download using scp, you would run something like:

    scp username@ftp.dialup.mit.edu:/mit/username/filename local_file
