Open the Site Manager from the File menu.

Use these settings in the **General** tab:

- Set **Protocol** to **SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol**
- Set **Host** to an FQDN, for example **myweb.cs.uwindsor.ca**
- Set **Username** to your **UWinID** (all in lowercase characters)
- Set **Password** to your campus password

Use this setting in the **Transfer Settings** tab:

- Check **Limit number of simultaneous connections**
- You can set the Maximum number of connections to between 1 and 5. If this number is too high, the server may blacklist your IP for attempting to open too many sessions simultaneously.
