Using SFTP

Unless you are really knowledgeable about the file structure of your computer, it is a good idea to navigate to the folder you want to transfer files into or out-of on your computer before you open a connection to a remote system. Use pwd and cd at the prompt to navigate to a suitable folder on your system. Once there, type:
sftp remote_username@remote_systemname
Where remote_username is your username on the system and remote_systemname is the name of the system you are connecting to (for example, onyen@opal.ils.unc.edu ).
Enter your password at the prompt. Now when you cd around the system, you are moving between folders on the remote system. Change to the remote folder where you will be transferring files to/from. Use put, get, mput, or mget to transfer files between the remote system and your own. Type quit to exit the SFTP session.
Other SSH clients are available for macOS including Cyberduck and FileZilla.
