All credit students at Middle Georgia Technical College have access to a personal folder that can be used to store school related documents and work. This folder is accessible from any pc on campus by using your personal login and it is also accessible from any Internet connected pc by using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). We recommend using SmartFTP, it is free for personal and academic use and is relatively easy to setup and use.
