[Athen] Accessible FTP program

[Hadi Rangin]

Hi Howard,

FTP access via a windows shell has never been a productive and effective method for screen reader users. As you know I am not involved in the occomodation process of our students at all but here's my suggestion and the way how I access remote drives:

Use a WebDrive program to mount the remote drive onto your local machine. Once you do it then the operation is like moving/copying a file from one drive to another. Most WebDrive programs support ftp, sftp, http, https, webdav, and many more protocols.

Thanks,
Hadi

  Hello All:



  Can anyone recommend an accessible ftp program? "Secure Shell" does not seem to be accessible with a screen reader. We've tried Fireftp and it seems to have limitations (can't create sub-folders). Thanks in advance.
