Virtual FTP is available to MBL faculty, students and staff only. The Virtual FTP Server allows you to move large amounts of data across our network using a dedicated server. Virtual FTP is for files that are too big for floppy disks or email, or for simple convenience. (Please note: you can also access the Virtual FTP Server using an FTP client. Simply go to ftp.mbl.edu and use your FTP Username and FTP Password to access your account.) To use Virtual FTP, follow these simple instructions:
