Resolution
- Cyberduck is an SFTP client available for Windows and macOS computers
- This is the recommended method to access AFS
- It provides most of the same functionality as mFile (retired May 2022)
- See Supporting Cyberduck
- WinSCP is an SFTP client for Windows computers
- PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows computers
- Built-In SSH is a command-line version of SSH that you can use in a terminal window that comes built in on macOS, Linux, and newer Windows systems
For more information on each of these, see https://its.umich.edu/computing/web-mobile/mfile/alternative-access. This includes information on other access methods as well including Campus Computing Sites, Virtual Sites, and more.
Additional Information
- Can be installed on managed (MiWorkspace, PaaS) or personal machines
- Older SFTP/SSH clients may not be able to connect to newer servers (RHEL8 servers in particular)
