Retrieving your file from the Classified (iSNSI or iSRD) network

After about 10 minutes or so, your files should be ready to retrieve on the classified network. The steps for retrieving your file are very much like for sending them, with these differences:

1. Running Hopper on the classified network, use the Connect Menu dropdown and select: Connect / Connect to FIS -> Fastfis…

2. In the password prompt dialog, enter in your 8-character alphanumeric PIN and 6-digit Token code, for a total of 14 characters, no spaces. Be sure to use your classified network PIN, which should be different than your open side PIN.

3. In the resulting "fastfis" Hopper window, navigate into the "FROM" directory to see the file(s) you sent. If the files are not there, wait a few more minutes and refresh the display to see if they have arrived. Repeat as necessary.

4. To retrieve the files, drag them from the fastfis Hopper window to your original Hopper window.

NOTE You cannot drag files from your desktop to the TO folder: you can only drag files between Hopper windows.
