FTP connection setting

FileZilla can be connected in two modes: quick connect and site setting. The quick connect mode is rather convenient as it can keep the recent settings of connection temporarily. If you want to use several connections of different IPs, please use the site setting modes to manage the connections of IPs.

Here we use FileZilla to demonstrate FTP connection. You can also use other FTP software. If you need to install FileZilla, please refer to the installation guide: Installation instructions for FTP software "FileZilla".

Students’ FTP server: the account and password of ftp.oz.nthu.edu.tw is the same as the setting of e-mail address.

The FTP server for Faculty members and Staffs: the account and password of ftp.mx.nthu.edu.tw is the same as the setting of e-mail address.

The FTP server for administrative and teaching units: the account and password of ftp.my.nthu.edu.tw is the same as the setting of e-mail address.
