MindTerm Client Setup

Follow these instructions in order to setup the MindTerm ssh client for use with DreamWeaver (MacOSX or Win).

1. Make sure that the Java Runtime is installed on the computer
   1. Open Command Prompt (Terminal on the mac) and type "java -version"
   2. The Java Runtime version should be at least 1.3
   3. If Java Runtime is not installed on the computer, go to Sun's Java Site, download the JRE, Install it (MacOSX should already have the Java Runtime, if not see Apples site). Try the command prompt again.
2. Get the MindTerm jar file and save it to a directory or folder (Program Files\MindTerm on Win, Applications/MindTerm on OSX)
3. Setup an SSH connection to the Web server with MindTerm:
   1. Double click the mindterm.jar file in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder
   2. Click File->Connect from the menu at the top
   3. Click New Server button, fill in server field with the Web server name (ex: viva.lib.virginia.edu), fill in the Username field with your userid on that Web server, check the box labeled Save as alias, select password for the Authentication field, and click the Connect button.
4. Login to the Server: Enter your password at the prompt
5. Enable the FTP to SFTP bridge
   1. Click Plugins -> FTP to SFTP bridge from the menu at the top,
   2. click Enable,
   3. click Close Dialog
6. Minimize your MindTerm Window (Do not close, or disconnect)
7. Open DreamWeaver
8. Change your DreamWeaver Site Definition
   1. Bring up the Edit Site Dialog for your DreamWeaver site.
   2. Select the Remote Info Category and replace the FTP host with "localhost" (without paras)
   3. Click OK button, Click Done Button
9. Contact Doug Chestnut if the DreamWeaver site does not connect at this point, It should work as is always has.
10. From this point on you will have to open your MindTerm SSH Connection before you use DreamWeaver. As long as you use File->Connect to open your connection (use the profile that you just setup) in MindTerm your FTP to SFTP bridge should enable itself.
