FTP

From Clusters

The best FTP client installed on cluster machines is the one as part of exceed, avilable as Programs - Core -> Network and Email -> Exceed -> Host Access -> FTP. The details you need to enter are Servername : waldo.umu.man.ac.uk Username : Password : Then click "open". This will allow you to drag and drop items from that machine (including your P drive) to your Waldo account. Please remember that webpages should go in the directory pubwww.

From Elsewhere

You can use any ftp client you wish. A good graphical client is WSftp (you will want to get the free version -- it does everything you will need).

Getting a copy of your site

If your ftp client supports recursively copying directories, then you want to grab the pubwww directory out of your home directory (pubwww being what the webserver sees as http://www.umu.man.ac.uk/username ). If it doesn't, the easiest way to get it is to login and type the command zip -r website.zip pubwww from your home directory which will create a zip file called website.zip which you can then download easily using ftp (login, and type the command get website.zip .
