  3. Login: dropoff. Password: dropoff. Click Connect.
  4. Another window appears with server choices.
  5. To drop off files, highlight Transfer and click OK. Drag your folder over the Drop folder until it darkens. Drop it in.
  6. You will receive the message: “You do not have permission to see the results of this operation.”
  7. Drop your files anyway (click OK), but you will not be able to alter or delete them. You cannot open the folder, either.
  8. Contact the staff person you are working with to confirm file submission.
