As described in a recent email message to those using people.bu.edu, use of Secure FTP is now required. If you are unable to access your files on people.bu.edu, you’ll need to switch the setting in your FTP client to SFTP.

FileZilla (Windows) or Fetch (Mac) are our recommended SFTP clients for those who edit pages with a separate text or HTML editor. Also recommended is Dreamweaver, which allows for HTML editing and SFTP within the same application. University departments can purchase Dreamweaver licenses through the IT Help Center.

We apologize for any inconvenience brought about by this change. If you need additional assistance, please submit a Help request.
