How to use the Fileserver!
aja / Saturday, February 28th, 2009 / Comments OffHere are the instructions for using the fileserver. It’s a really good resource– many old documents from years past are on there that will help you. If you want future directors to learn from what you’ve done, it’s important that you put everything on there.
Downloading Instructions:
1. In your web browser (firefox, safari, explorer, etc) type in ftp://140.247.72.225. This should take you to the “PBHA New Fileserver.”
2. Login. Username and password are “pbha”
3. Click on programs, and then find your program.
4. From there, you should be able to download old documents. This should work fine on a Mac or a PC.
Uploading Instructions:
1. On a PC, you should be able to drag and drop documents from “My Computer” into the folder that you want them.
2. On a Mac, you will need to download a program to help you do this. I downloaded “ClassicFTP” (google it to find it) and it works well. Fetch and some other programs will work to. In those programs, you should type in the fileserver address, and be able to transfer files.
Creating a New Folder:
1. You generally will not be able to create a new folder from your home computer. So, go to the PBHA computer lab.
2. Open SecureFX, click Connect, and click PBHA New Fileserver.
3. There, open Programs, then your program’s folder.
4. Here, you should be able to have access to change everything, including to create new folders.
