Accessing home.apu.edu (FTP/SSH)
FTP Instructions
To access home.apu.edu via FTP, use home.apu.edu as the server and then use your APU NetID and password to authenticate. Files that you want to access from a web browser must be placed in the public_html folder; files that are placed in your home directory will only be accessible by mapping the drive (see below) or logging on to home.apu.edu with your username and password. In other words, files not in the public_html directory are not publically accessible.
Instructions are available for download in PDF form:
- For Windows XP with WS_FTP LE (PDF)*
- For Windows XP with WinSCP (PDF)*
- For Macintosh OS X and Transmit 2 (PDF)*
SSH Instructions
Faculty and staff members who wish to use SSH on home.apu.edu must request access through the IMT Support Desk. To request access, email support@apu.edu with your name, APU NetID, and the reason SSH access is desired. (Please note: Telnet access is no longer available.)
