In putty.

The idea is that computers outside of the UNSW network can't access the maths servers.

By SSHing into CSE first, you become 'part' of the UNSW network, which should allow you to FTP into maths.

Hmm still a bit lost

I've SSH'd into CSE.

What's the exact command I type to get into maths? I tried:

---------------------------------------------------

weill % ftp ftp.maths.unsw.edu.au
Connected to hermite.maths.unsw.edu.au.
220 ftp.maths.unsw.edu.au FTP server (Version wu-2.6.1-20) ready.
Name (ftp.maths.unsw.edu.au:dhua615):


---------------------------------------

at this point i have to type something and i got no idea what...

and when i do get into the ftp, how do i actually put files into that directory from my computer?

okies....

1) Upload your files into CSE, via FTPing into ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au

2) Start putty, SSH into CSE by logging into login.cse.unsw.edu.au with your CSE login and password. CD to the directory where you have uploaded your files.

Then, theres two things you can do (can't quite remember which one works)

Once logged in, type:
ftp
(This starts the FTP program)
open
(This tells the FTP program to open a new connection)
ftp.maths.unsw.edu.au
(This tells the FTP program to open a connection to maths)

Now login with your student number and your maths password, which you should have already set at the maths website. Use CD commands like in Unix to get to the directory you want, and use the put command to upload the files from CSE into maths.


OR


Once you've SSHed into CSE, SSH into sigma from there, and once you're in sigma, FTP into CSE, and get the files out of CSE into sigma with the get command.




You could always just bring it into uni the next time you're there

thanks! almost everything is working now...

just the put command..

the first method doesn't work, you can log into cse and put it into maths. you need to ssh into maths and retreive the file from cse.

problem is i ssh'd into maths and i've ftp'd to cse and went to the directory where my files are.

now what's the command to put those files into my maths directory?

e.g. theres the file a1q3.mws in my cse directory. i want to move that into maths.

 

[sunny]

get sourcefile destinationfile

so, it would be:

get a1q3.mws a1q3.mws



get is like downloading, and put is uploading.
