If you are off campus
Then you'll need to tunnel in to the VPN first for this to work: go to https://webvpn.york.ac.uk
If you're in YSTV
If you have less than a few gigabytes to move, find a USB drive or external hard drive and copy it off an edit PC, it'll be quicker.
Otherwise:
On the desk with Graphics PC, there should be a spare network cable, plug this in and shut off your wireless, it should be a little quicker than eduroam.
On Windows:
Go to \\ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk\ and enter your server username (in the form YSTV\firstname.lastname) and password when prompted. Then copy files to your heart's content!
On Linux/Mac
Mount smb://ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk/Pending\ Edits (or similar) using workgroup of YSTV and username and password, and again copy to your heart's content. You can do the mount from Finder on a Mac, by going Go->Connect to Server and filling in the smb:// address above.
If you're not in YSTV
Using your favourite SFTP client (WinSCP is recommended, or Cyberduck for mac, Linux users you can probably figure it out), connect to ystv.york.ac.uk with your server username (the firstname.lastname one) and password. Browse to the location of the file you want (probably somewhere in /data or /mnt). For uploading shows go to /mnt/UserData and upload it there to put on the website.
If these all fail/you can't see the file
Tweet/email/call/smoke signal a techy or computing type and they'll help you (and should chastise me for writing shoddy instructions).
Advanced: The Web Method
To download big files, if you feel brave and know what you're doing, open an SSH session to the webserver and copy the file into your home directory (theoretically you could symlink, I never got it working though). If you copy it to the www folder (you may need to create it) then if you go to http://ystv.co.uk/~firstname.lastname you will see the files ready to download.
