Alternatives to FTP

There are many alternatives to FTP:

1. If you have many files to transfer, create a Compressed Folder to combine them into a single file first.
   Here's a free version of zip that works with older versions of Windows.

2. UNR has it's own FileMover web transfer site. Contact the Help Desk at 682-5000 to use FileMover.

3. Have the party you need to transfer files with post them to their website.
   They can create a free Google website - (100MB limit)

4. Add a file upload capability to your website:
   • HTML
   • PHP (Example 2)
