You may notice that when using MobaXTerm for an SSH session to Seawulf, a small sidebar will appear on the left side of your screen with an SFTP browser.

But if you want the added security and speed of WolfieNet-Secure, you'll have to use a method of transferring files that won't cause DUO to spam you with authentication requests. One solution is to use WolfieNet-Guest to connect to the VPN. If you're on campus and connected to WolfieNet-Secure, however, you won't be able to connect to Stony Brook's VPN. You'll need to authenticate once with DUO to connect to the VPN, but after this, all connections you make to Seawulf through the VPN will bypass DUO.

If this happens, you'll receive an email saying that your account is locked, and you must reply to confirm that it should be unlocked.

Just like when you log in to Seawulf, transferring files will also require Two-Factor Authentication via DUO.
