You may connect to the web server using sftp (safe file transfer protocol)
or ssh (secure shell connection.) The shell environment is case-sensitive,
so you will need to keep track of which letters need to be typed in upper
or lower case.  To connect to a shell on shremotesun15 with ssh from a
terminal window, e.g. mintty with bash or ksh on your Windows machine with
Cygwin, type

$ ssh nisname@shremotesun15.calstatela.edu

You should copy my setup files into your directory to give you a more
modern working environment than the default: once logged in on
shremotesun15, type

% cd /home/areed2
% cp .login .ksh_cd .exrc .kshrc kshenv $HOME
% exit

- when you log in again, you should get a prompt with a "$" at the end.

If (as I recommend) you will keep on your own computer a directory with the
work that needs to be mirrored to the web server - in the following
example, this directory is named "CIS528" - you can mirror it to the server
as follows ("#" starts a comment; you don't need to type the comments:)

First, you will need to be in the parent directory of the one that you want
to mirror to the web server - for example, the parent directory of "CIS528"
- in Microsoft-talk, the folder that the CIS528 folder is in. You can
search for it with windows search, and then read the "Folder" field of the
line on which "CIS528" is listed in the search results. If, for example,
the Folder field has "My Documents(c:\Documents and Settings\yourname)",
then in your Unix/Linux terminal (e.g. Cygwin's mintty) you would type

$ cd '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/yourname/My Documents'

where "/cygdrive/c" is drive C:; and the single quotes are necessary
to prevent spaces (used in Windows file and directory names as regular
characters) from being interpreted as Unix/Linux token separators.
You could abbreviate this, as long as there were no other file or directory
names in the corresponding folders with the string "Doc" in them, as

$ cd /cygdrive/c/Doc*/yourname/*Doc*

Then:

$ find CIS528 | xargs chmod a+r          # files should be readable to all
$ find CIS528 -type d | xargs chmod a+x  # directories readable to all
$ zip -r CIS528.zip CIS528
$ sftp nisname@shremotesun15.calstatela.edu

Once all the directories exist and are readable and executable on
shremotesun15, you can mirror their content without the zipping and
unzipping steps. Instead, get into the parent directory (on the computer
you use for your homework) of the directory that you wish to mirror,
and use sftp:

$ sftp nisname@shremotesun15.calstatela.edu
