For security reasons, telnet and ftp are disabled on the ENCS network. You should use SSH, SFTP or SCP instead. There are a number of free software applications available on the Internet, which can do SSH and SFTP. Here are three of them for Windows:
1.
Putty (SSH client software):
PuTTY is a small piece of software. It can be downloaded from
PuTTY Download Page.
2.
WinSCP (for Windows):
WinSCP is an open source sftp and SCP (Secure Copy) client for Windows using SSH (Secure Shell). It can be used to copy files between a local and a remote computer. It can be downloaded from
WinSCP Download Page.
How to transfer files from a Linux machine?
In this section, we will describe how to transfer files from a Linux desktop, by first connecting to Concordia's login server.

Fill in the required fields with the information given below:
Service type: SSH
Server: login.encs.concordia.ca

Click on "Connect", provide your password in the next screen and then once again, select "Connect".
You now have a secure connection to login.encs.concordia.ca. File transfer may begin.
Browse to the desired file(s)/folder(s). Make a selection, and simply drag and drop file(s)/folder(s) to your destination. You may also use the copy/paste functions.
