The recommended ITS software is Cyberduck (https://cyberduck.io/?) it is both Windows and MAC OS compatible. Windows installation, on a UVA managed device, requires an elevated (Administrator) account for installation.
Installation of Cyberduck is straight forward - all default responses are acceptable.
