How do I save and open files from the dunx1 server ?

--First, create your dunx1 account by logging in to http://accounts.drexel.edu and selecting the Add Account button. The dunx1 account provides file storage and personal web hosting space.
--The Dunx1 drive is mapped to X:\ on these computers, so that when you are logged in to the computer, you can use X: as the Save location. Of course, you then can also Open files from X:\.
--To save and retrieve files from Dunx1 with a file transfer method, Dunx1 supports SFTP. You can use the SSH File Transfer Client, available from the IRT software download site, to view the contents of your directories on the server and to download and upload files.
