How to Configure FileZilla 2.2.32 for Kerberos (Windows XP/Vista)

When you install FileZilla from the PennConnect CD or download it from the Supported Products site, it has already been configured to FTP to Penn's server, origin.www.upenn.edu. If, however, you want to FTP to other servers, you can use the instructions below to add the new FTP site, then configure that site for the Kerberos environment.

Notes:

• Before configuring FileZilla 2.2.32 to run in a Kerberos environment, check with your Local Support Provider (LSP) to ensure your School, department, or administrative unit supports Kerberos.
• Ensure Kerberos client software (Leash32 2.6.5) is installed on your computer. If you are using Leash32 from behind a firewall or router and/or you are connecting from off campus using a DSL or cable modem, you might need to also install the alternate configuration installer. More information is available on the PennKey web site at: http://www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey/use/firewall.html.
