Tux Notes

For Tux, make sure to use your Drexel abc123-format username and your Drexel password to connect to Tux.

Make sure to always use SFTP - traditional FTP connections are blocked on Tux, and will transmit login details (including your password) in plain text. You should never use FTP due to this security concern.

Additional Tips

1. From here, you can do actions like drag-and-drop onto your local desktop
