Using sunny.uni.edu and your UNI web site...

1. Email note about cd, mkdir, ls, cd .., logout, finger, ls -l and other sunny.uni.edu commands and issues.

2. Here is a link to how to upload to sunny.uni.edu using Apple Macintosh free Cyberduck software. KAB 250 computer lab is where I made this PDF and did the screen snapshots.

3. The way to upload your Flash movies to the sunny.uni.edu by using Dreamweaver. You have this PDF file as a handout from the Friday, February 8th class.

4. How to get SSH Secure Shell from the UNI web site for your PC (Dell, Compaq, Gateway, IBM, HP) computer. This is NOT for Macintosh.

5. Unfortunately, Dreamweaver does NOT seem to allow you to upload files to a non-existing folder on sunny.uni.edu. You MUST create the folder first by logging in to sunny.uni.edu and doing the mkdir command, i.e. doing the MaKe DIRectory command. m k d i r will make a brand new folder.

   mkdir oct31stAssign             1st case          
     
   mkdir 022                       2nd case
   cd 022
   mkdir assign1
     
   You would define your site to be different if you want all the Fireworks
      files to be stored in a separate folder on sunny.uni.edu, which is a good idea
      since there are so very, very, very many files created!
   
   What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?  
      (See the PDF file from link #2 above on using DW to upload Flash movies).
       
        oct31stAssign  would be the answer in the 1st case  
   
        022/assign1     would be the answer in the 2nd case
     
        The example above (the PDF) shows leaving the "What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?"   field BLANK...
   
        That is easy to do when there is only a .swf (Flash movie) file and an .htm file.
        Fireworks creates too many files to be keeping them all in your home directory.
   
      mkdir is NOT that difficult to do.  Logging in to sunny.uni.edu from time to time will get easier with experience.
      
      The URL to get to the .htm file (let us say it is assign5.htm for a specific example) would be:
      
           www.uni.edu/yourUNIuserID/022/assign1/assign5.htm     The names of the folders are needed....
                                                                         022/assign1
              or
              
           www.uni.edu/yourUNIuserID/oct31stAssign/assign5.htm   The name of the folder is needed....
                                                                         oct31stAssign
     

6. Note: All this information about making a folder with the mkdir command on sunny.uni.edu is only necessary because of two reasons:

      1.  Defining the Dreamweaver site as shown above to be a folder
          on your sunny.uni.edu account apparently does NOT work
          and create the folder for you.  Thus you have to login to sunny
          and actually do a command line UNIX command, mkdir, and make
          a folder with mkdir.
   
      2.  Any fireworks exported file that has interactivity and hot spots
          and imagemaps and popup menus and such will create way toooooooooo
          many files.   We need to keep each such published project in a 
          separate folder, i.e. a separate DIRectory, made on a UNIX system
          with the mkdir command.  mk dir - mk for MAKE and dir for DIRECTORY.
    
          mkdir       <-------- In the days before Windows and GUI interfaces, 
                                and WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing 
                                Devices), the ONLY way to use computers
                                was by typing commands at a command prompt.
          cd
          man cd
          ls
          cd ..
          cd 022
          logout    finger     w     who    ls -l
          man ls
          cd assign1
          pico myWebPage.html         etc. etc. etc.
