Apple Sftp Client
Cyberduck is a GUI file transfer software that can be used to copy files to remote servers using SFTP that is available for both Windows and Macintosh clients.
In order to use FTP, you will need an FTP client which is a desktop app that connects your computer to your WordPress hosting account. It provides an easy to use graphics user interface, so that you can perform all FTP functions such as copy, upload, delete, rename, and edit files / folders on your WordPress site. Open your SFTP app and create a new SFTP connection. This process will differ for each app. Enter the URL, user name, and password generated by Apple School Manager. After the connection is made, locate and open the dropbox folder, then drag in your zipped file. In Apple School Manager, tap Continue and wait for the file to upload. Click Set Up SFTP. Apple School Manager generates a URL, user name and password to use when uploading files. Use this information to configure your SFTP client. Click Download Templates. Read the instructions for using templates in the 'Filling In Data Files' section. After your data files have been filled in, create a zip archive of all six files. Using the built-in SSH client in Mac OS X. Mac OS X includes a command-line SSH client as part of the operating system. To use it, goto Finder, and selext Go - Utilities from the top menu. Then look for Terminal. Terminal can be used to get a local terminal window, and also supports SSH connections to remote servers.
All modern operating system platforms now have native support for command line SFTP file copies, but most users will want a GUI client for drag and drop file copy between hosts. Windows and Apple users must use a third party application (like cyberduck or winscp), to provide file browser application - Linux users can use the native “Nautilus” file browser which supports SFTP.
