How to access your space
SFTP using your favorite client We’ll use Cyberduck today

Fetch/WinSCP/whatever else▪ That’s fine and they look nearly identical
Configuring Cyberduck to access i-drive When you first
open Cyberduck, you probably see something like this:
Click the plus (+) button near the bottom left corner to add a new bookmarked connection
