Installation

1. Install the latest version of Cyberduck.
2. Open the client and click Open Connection.
   
   
   
   
3. Select the FTP-SSL (for FTP or FTPES connections) or the SFTP option from the drop-down menu at the top of this screen.
   
   
   
   
4. In the server field, enter the following: ftp-<egnytedomain>.egnyte.com.
   Example: ftp-acme.egnyte.com
   
   
5. Enter your user name, $, then your Egnyte domain with no spaces in the User Name field.
   Example: jsmith$acme
   

   If your FTP Client does not support $ symbol then you can use any of the following symbols: % # | @ &

6. Type in your Egnyte password in the Password field.
   
   

   Note: SSO authenticated users will have to set a non-SSO password that is only used for FTP. This can be done from the My Preferences tab under My Profile in the Egnyte Web UI.

7. Click Connect.
   
   

   Note: If you connect via SFTP, you may see an Unknown fingerprint message. Please select Allow.

9. From the Preferences menu, open the Connection tab and click Change Settings... under the Proxies section.
   
   
10. Verify the box for Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) is checked.
