G+_Joel G. J Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Bryan Burnett Hey Know-it-alls My school uses SFTP for student drives on their network. I need access to that network folder on my personal device (Win10 laptop) for a certain class. Any suggestions for apps/procedure for the SFTP volume that integrates with Windows file manager and are lightweight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Steve Martin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Are you talking about a Mobile App or are you asking for a Windows application that understands SFTP? For the latter you can use WinSCP for most kinds of file transfers on Windows. If you mean a mobile app, many of the File Managers on Android (like ES File and Astro) support SFTP transfers. As for HIPAA compliance, I don't know what is required unless it is a FIPS compliant encryption tool, which might rule out any of those standard types of applications.

G+_Joel G. J Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's Windows. Can you access the files easily and open them via the file manager on that app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Martin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I haven't used WinSCP in a long time, but as I recall it works pretty easily for uploading and downloading files. It supports SFTP so you can easily try it out: https://winscp.net/eng/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know of anything on Windows that will let you open the file directly from the SFTP site, but you can certainly download the files to your local machine and open them there. WinSCP, FireFTP, etc might might emulate opening directly; but most likely they would just be downloading to a local temp folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Benjamin Webb Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I always stuck with good old filezilla for sftp easiest thing I know for quick access. Although it is not integrated into windows file mangager like you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
