If you need to upload files from your local computer to your faculty/staff website, you can do so using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). This guide explains how to connect to your web folder using an FTP program called FileZilla. FileZilla is a free application that can be downloaded from: https://filezilla-project.org/
Using the Quick Connect bar
When you open FileZilla, you'll see the Quick Connect bar at the top of the screen, and this is the quickest way to establish a connection to your faculty/staff web folder.
Enter the settings below and click the Quickconnect button:
- Host: facstaff.buffalostate.edu
- Username: enter bsclogon\ followed by your Buffalo State username (e.g. bsclogon\username)
- Password: enter your Buffalo State password
- Port: 22
When you see the Unknown host key prompt, check the Always trust this host box and click OK.

Using Site Manager
If you plan on connecting to your web folder frequently, you can save your connection settings using the Site Manager.
To open Site Manager click File > Site Manager.
Next, click New Site, give the site a name, and enter the following settings on the General tab:
- Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
- Host: facstaff.buffalostate.edu
- Port: 22
- Logon Type: Ask for password
- User: enter bsclogon\ followed by your Buffalo State username (e.g. bsclogon\username)
Once the new site is configured, click the
Connect button to establish a connection and enter your password when prompted.
