Software
FTP
You can access your Blackcomb space (personal space) from home,
either through your web browser or a dedicated program called an
"FTP client". You may already have one on your computer,
but if not, we recommend that you try either "CuteFTP"
(for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP) or "Fetch" for Macintosh.
Both are available in free trial versions on download.com
You may want to refer to SFU general hints on setting up your FTP programs.
