The department provides a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, sftp.cs.virginia.edu, to which you can connect and securely transfer files to and from your departmental directories. The name sftp is an alias to portal01.cs.virginia.edu. Since this system is part of the portal cluster, direct access to it is allowed by the department firewall.

If you are using an application like fileZilla to transfer files, specify sftp.cs.virginia.edu as the destination server, not portal.
