SCIS Faculty Websites

The SCIS Webserver that hosted faculty websites was recently retired.  All the hosted websites have been moved to a Linux environment.  Your site is now hosted on tux.cs.drexel.edu.  You can connect to the server using any ftp client. 

FileZilla is a popular client if you need one https://filezilla-project.org/  If you are not familiar with using FileZilla there is a full article here that describes how to use file zilla. 

If you are using this article as a guide please be sure that you are using the host, username and password specified below since the linked article is a general guide.
