SFTP Client Software
Neither Windows nor Mac have a built-in graphical method for accessing SFTP file shares, but there are a number of free clients for both operating systems that are known to work with our SFTP server.
Windows
Mac
| Tip |
|---|
Many text editors like Visual Studio Code, BBEdit, Notepad++, and others have native support or a plugin for editing files on an SFTP server. |
Cyberduck
Cyberduck is a libre (open source, donation-supported), cross-platform graphical SFTP client. Because it runs on both Mac and Windows, the following steps should allow you to connect to sftp.geneseo.edu regardless of your operating system:
Launch Cyberduck, click Open Connection
Select SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) as the connection type
Enter sftp.geneseo.edu in the Server field
Confirm the Port field indicates 22
Enter your Geneseo network username
Enter your Geneseo network password
Check the Save Password checkbox
Info If you do not check Save Password, Cyberduck will prompt you for your password for each file transfer you perform. Cyberduck saves your password to the macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager, which are secure, encrypted credential storage areas. Click Connect
Confirm the fingerprint shown matches one of our valid fingerprints below, check Always, and click Allow.

If successful, you will see your public_html folder listed on the left. This folder contains the files served at https://www.geneseo.edu/~your_username
You can now drag and drop files between your system and public_html in Cyberduck
Info The security configuration of sftp.geneseo.edu only allows users to modify the contents of their public_html folders; no other top-level files or folders can be created or modified.
Advanced Cyberduck
You can right click on a file in Cyberduck and select Edit With to pick your favorite editor to launch that file in. When you save that file in your editor, Cyberduck will automatically update the copy on the SFTP server.
