Accessing Network Files from Home Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

You can access your files saved on the NIU network drive (H: drive) directly when you are in a computer lab.

If you are not in a computer lab (i.e., a residence hall room or off campus), you will need to copy the files from your H: drive onto your computer and then copy them back when you are finished. You need a secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) utility to do this over the Internet.

There is a free utility available for FTP called CoreFTP LiteTM. Use this ITS supported product or another secure utility. You can get CoreFTP Lite by visiting go.et.niu.edu/CoreFTP

You will need the following information to use FTP:

• Host name: ftp.niu.edu
• User name: your full-context Z-ID, which looks like “.zxxxxxy.y.students.niu” (without the quotes; there is a “.” before the “z”)
• Password: The eight-character password associated with your Z-ID

More information can be found at go.et.niu.edu/ftp

If you need assistance, contact the ITS Helpdesk at helpdesk@niu.edu or 753-8100.

In the residence halls, contact the ResTech Helpdesk at restech@niu.edu or 753-6267.
