Note:

Due to the evolving coronavirus situation, the retirement of Webserve was delayed until April 16 to allow classes that reference sites on Webserve to continue with minimal disruption.

All remaining Webserve sites were disabled beginning April 16, along with login access to webserve.iu.edu. If you have websites that still need to be moved to IU Sitehosting, you should migrate immediately.

For Mac users, UITS suggests using Cyberduck as your Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) client. Cyberduck is available from IUware.

To use Cyberduck on Webserve:

  1. Open Cyberduck. In the upper left, click Open Connection.

  3. In the remaining fields, enter the following:
    • Server: webserve.iu.edu
    • Username: Name of your web account
    • Password: Your Webserve account passphrase
      Note:
      For most, the name of the web account appears after the tilde (~) in the URL for that account.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. A window will open and list files and directories in your Webserve account. To view the files within a directory, click the triangle next to it.
