Security:
CMC SFTP server has enhanced security policy.
- You should know your username and password for login. The server will block your IP address if you failed login 5 times.
- Top directories are double-blinded for non-staff users.
You can not see files or sub directories. You have to know exactly the directory and file name if you want to download file. The same way is you have to let recipient know the directory and file name if you upload a file.

SFTP client software
There are many different ways to exchange files with CMC SFTP server. Based on the nature of security policy applied to the server, I recommend you use command line tools.
Using a Command Line tools
Both Windows 10 and Linux (Mac) have built-in SSH commands for SFTP.
Open a Command line (Windows 10) or a terminal (Linux/Mac), and go to directory where you have the files. Below are some examples:
Exchange files in Pub directory
$ sftp -o user=your_email_address sftp.cmc.ca
(you will be prompted for your CMC password)
sftp> cd Pub
sftp> get download_file_name
sftp> put upload_file_name
# Create sub directory under Pub
sftp> cd /Pub
sftp> mkdir my_upload_20200908
sftp> cd my_upload_20200908
sftp> put my_upload_file
# Send email to recipient with directory and file name.
# Delete uploaded file after recipient downloaded it.
sftp> rm my_upload_file
sftp> bye
FAB/drc upload
$ sftp -o user=your_email_address sftp.cmc.ca
sftp> cd fab
sftp> put my_design_file
sftp> bye
Important notice of Anonymous directory
Files left in this area are available to anyone who has the username and password. Please delete it after you finish file exchange.
