For general-purpose file transfer, such as moving data or results to and from the network, modifying web sites, and more, we recommend using FileZilla. You can use FileZilla with Windows, Mac, or Linux. For Mac users we recommend CyberDuck.

Notes using FileZilla
You enter the server name in the field Host. Make sure that you specify the protocol sftp for sample sftp://academic.uprm.edu.

When creating a new bookmark or a connection select the SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol. The SFTP default port is 3822.

In Dreamweaver SFTP and FTPS are referred as FTP. When configuring a SITE in Dreamweaver select "FTP" as your "Access" option in the "Remote Info" area of your "Advanced" tab. In your "FTP Host" enter the server name with the proper protocol for sample sftp://academic.uprm.edu. Click on the checkbox "Secure FTP (SFTP)".
