-If you are using Mac OS X and wish to have a graphical front end for copying files over a network, we suggest using Cyberduck or Fugu.  Cyberduck is available at http://cyberduck.ch/ and Fugu is available at http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/. On running, you'll be asked a few questions. Enter mote.cs.vassar.edu in "Connect to". Also, enter your user name. You can leave the port and starting directory settings blank, as their defaults, port 22 and your home directory, are apropriate. On logging in, you will see your local files in a pane on the left side of a window, and your account files on the right. Drag a file between the two panes to make a copy.
