@yofrodo99 DiskAid might be a little different than Cyberduck. Try searching around a bit until you find the needed file.

I’ve downloaded OpenSSH and Cyberduck, but when I follow your instructions for CyberDuck, I get an error message stating that the connection failed. I am doing this at home, and both my PC and my iPhone are running on the same network. What’s going wrong? I’ve tried this repeatedly, first on my PC and then on my laptop, with the same result.
Before you record your business voicemail greeting, be sure to rehearse it so you feel comfortable and don’t stumble around. You might want to write a script and practice a few times out loud beforehand.
Most carriers offer voicemail for free. However, some carriers may limit the number of voicemail messages you can have stored. But this shouldn’t be a problem because not many callers leave voicemails anymore.
Your business depends on customer engagement, and voicemail messages are a large part of that engagement. A voicemail is nothing more than a digital recording system, where messages are stored for you to retrieve later. Voicemail allows you to be able to connect with customers while you are away or during your off-hours, where they can drop off a message while you are gone. A voicemail greeting, on the other hand, refers to the message that your callers hear upon answering the phone.
On the other hand, a stellar professional voicemail is more than just a way to ensure callers are heard. It’s actually a gateway to encourage recruiters, clients, connections, venders, and other callers to continue forward with the first step in developing a business relationship, which is them making contact. The power of the right voicemail greeting is the caller actually staying on the line to leave that contact information or gain access to an alternative contact point.
Answering machines run on electricity, so if there’s a power outage, you won’t be able to record or play back messages. However, some answering machines have a battery backup that allows the machine to work even if your home doesn’t have power.
7. Explain when you expect to return calls. This is crucial. Instead of telling clients that you'll return their call when you have time, tell them when you return calls.
Even if you’re not actually conversing with the listener face to face, it helps to smile while you’re talking. Doing so can help set the right tone, mood, feel, and intonation such that throughout the call, you remain friendly and engaging. It may seem quite odd to do so, but if you test it out, you’ll hear the difference yourself.
Hi. This is David. I’ve shut the ringers off on my phones and taken a sedative. As soon as I finish this recording I’m going to bed indefinitely. When I wake up I’ll play my messages. Please leave one.

I’m home right now . . . I’m just screening my calls. So just start talking and if you’re someone I want to speak to I’ll pick up the phone. Otherwise, well, what can I say?
The reason being it can either push your prospects away from you or retain them for longer.
No matter how the call went, always sound professional, friendly, and polite. You don’t have to repeat your message one last time as that’s only wasting precious call time you could’ve spent calling others on your list. Your listener can always replay your message if they want to hear it one more time. End it with a friendly line like, ‘I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon,’ or ‘have a nice day.’
What voice do you want to convey when speaking with customers? This may be professional, casual, or even humorous.
