I'm working in a Uni project where I have to connect to a server (Linux) to get some files for my project. I was told that I have to use ssh or OpenVPN in order to get access to the files I need. I've used PuTTy in campus (using Win) and my user and pass are working but when I go home I'm not really sure how to access the server (using Mac). I was told that I have to open a connection using OpenVPN then use any FTP client (like filezilla) to download my files. So I downloaded OpenVPN and Tunnilblick, but I don't know how to make them work. I looked everywhere for any tutorial that could explain anything but unfortunately didn't find any clue. Could any one please help explaining how to get access and download the files I need?
Regards
