Accessing the class .NET server

Windows Systems Programming: Spring 2004

Accounts have been created, the username is the first initial followed by the first 7 letters of the last name (i.e. cwild). The password is the first two letters of the last name followed by the full student ID.
Access must be within the CS firewall.
The name of the server is "sensor.cs.odu.edu"
To transfer a file use "ftp://sensor.cs.odu.edu"
Your default directory will also be your home page from your web site.
To access the web site use http://sensor.cs.odu.edu:8000/username or http://128.82.4.94:8000/username

Connect to your internet service provider
Goto the Start menu and select Run
Type "ftp" into the open text box and select ok
A "FTP Window" should appear with the prompt "ftp> ", type "open sensor.csnet.cs.odu.edu"
You should then be prompted for a "User..." name, type the user name assigned to you (see above)
You should then be prompted for a "Password", type your password (see above).
Assuming all goes well, you should be logged into your .NET account and be placed at your home directory
Change your local directory (on your PC) to that containing your source code. For example,
lcd c:\cs477\assignments\assn3
Change you working directory on the UNIX side to the place where you want to put this project. If you have already created a directory for this assignment, "cd" to that directory. Otherwise you can make a directory using
mkdir assn3
cd assn3
To transfer your source files, use the "put" or "mput" command. For example to transfer assn3.aspx, type
put assn3.aspx
you should eventually get a "transfer complete" reply
Type "quit" to terminate the ftp program

open browser
enter url "ftp://sensor.csnet.cs.odu.edu", you should be challenged to enter your username and password
Assuming you are successful, you should see your server files in the browser window. You can cut and paste or drag and drop the files you want to put on the server.

NOTE: you must in inside the ODU CS firewall to access the server.
