All students that have a home Internet connection may now access your Student network folder from home.  For Macs, it's called AFP, and for Windows it's called SFTP, both are protocols that are more secure than FTP.  With AFP or SFTP you may download and upload files to your Student-Server folder from home.  Please note, we do not support home Internet connections.  Please contact your ISP for technical support related to your home Internet connection.  Below are basic instructions for different operating systems: GOOD LUCK! (Important: Windows users must tell Mr. McCoy to enable SFTP on your account first!)
