Instructions for Using the Server
Instructions for Using the Server
You can try these links first: AFP SMB/CIFS FTP. Otherwise, follow the below instructions. For large files please use rsync! Instructions here.
Go to the start menu and type "this PC"
Click "Map Network Drive"
Select any drive letter, and type \\moondough.i234.me\home into the "Folder" bar. Reconnect at sign in is optional. Be sure to check "connect using different credentials" and use the username and password provided by Ed.
Be sure to use backslashes \ and not slashes / otherwise it will not work.
After the home folder connects you can press "map network drive" again and then press "browse" on the folder selection screen to map other folders on the server as network drives, such as dumpUSA, files_repository, MarkFiles, music, photo, or video. However, the files that you are looking for are most definitely in your home folder, unless Ed told you otherwise.
Click on an empty area of your desktop to select The Finder applicaton, then press the "go" menu at the top and select "connect to server"
Type afp://moondough.i234.me into the bar, and press the plus button to add the server to your favorites.
Be sure to use slashes / and not backslashes \ otherwise it will not work.
Enter the username and password from Ed into the window that pops up. It will then ask you which folders you would like to mount. You can select all of them with the shift key or by pressing command-a but the files you are looking for are probably in your home folder unless Ed told you otherwise.
The normal drag and drop procedure should work fine for small files. When transferring folders or archives, it is strongly reccomended that you use rsync. First, open up a terminal window by pressing command-spacebar for spotlight and typing "terminal". You can also find the terminal app by clicking the launchpad in the dock, and then click "other" and then click "terminal".
Type "rsync -r -v --stats --progress" into the terminal. It should look like this. Rsync is a text based file transfer program that transfers files one at a time, in order. This means that no progress will be lost in case of interruption. Otherwise, drag and drop will copy the files and folders over in a random order which will make it harder to resume in case of interrruption.
Then drag the source folder and then your destination folder onto the window. you can also type out the folder path. Put a slash / at the end of the destination folder to copy into it.
