Welcome to UT's School of Information tutorial on Fugu, an easy to use, free,
Secure File Transfer Protocol software application for Mac OS X. What is Fugu
you may be asking? Let's Google for Fugu. If you check this first link here,
you'll see the Fugu puffer fish, native to the Pacific Ocean and considered a
delicacy in Japan. It can inflate its body and project protective spikes which
contain a powerful toxin that can shut down your central nervous system. But
the other Fugu, the second link here, at the Research Systems Unix Group is Fugu
software, which we're interested in, but is named after the fish because it has
a strong security system and can carry whatever you need. It's a graphical front
end to Secure File Transfer, the whole session is encrypted and best of all,
it's free. Click on Download and then on Fugu's latest version, 1.0.0. Fugu will
be downloaded, unstuffed, and its image mounted. You'll have to agree to the
usage statement. Now you'll just simply follow the directions and drag the Fugu
icon into the Applications folder. To open Fugu, find it where you dropped it,
and double-click on the Fugu fish. If you want to make a shortcut, simply drag
the big Fugu fish into the dock. In the next tutorial we'll connect to the ftp
site.
