Fugu on Mac OS X

Revised Mar 19 2004

Fugu is University of Michigan graphical secure file-transport software.

  • Unlike Fetch, it requires that no SSH tunnel be set up.
  • It gives you local and remote directory windows for drag-and-drop copying.
  • You do not need to use SSH in a Terminal window to log in.
  • It is MacOSX only.

Download Fugu, install it, and start it.
Fugu displays a log-in window. In the Connect to box enter the remote host like u.arizona.edu
For Username enter your UA NetID.
If this is a host you will use often, click the Add to Favorites button.
Click the Connect button.

You will be prompted for your password.
Fugu displays a window with your local (Mac) files and your remote (U-System) files. Note that the left side shows the icon Local Home with local files listed below it, and the right/remote side is identified with a Remote Home icon. File folders can be double-clicked to list their contents. You can traverse directory structures by clicking the Home icon to return to the top of that directory structure.
If you click on a file or directory, you can click the Info icon to set permissions.
