Using Telnet

q       First, use Telnet to create a new directory in your www directory on the CUIP server.

q       Click Start|Run and type "telnet cuip.uchicago.edu" into the field.

q       Click okay. A new window opens and after a few seconds you'll see a login prompt.

q       Type your CUIP username.

q       Then the password prompt appears.

q       Type your password. You will automatically be located in your user directory.

q       The key commands are cd (change directory), mkdir (make directory), and pwd (present working directory). You might also want to use ls (short listing) and ls -l (long listing; there's a space in there).

q       Type "cd www" to switch to your www directory (this is the directory that must contain all of your web pages, or folders containing those web pages).

q       To create a new directory (say "curriculumweb"), type "mkdir curriculumweb".

q       To make sure this works, type "cd curriculumweb" then type "pwd" (for present working directory). You should get a response which indicates you are in the ~/www/curriculumweb directory. (The tilde, or ~ indicates your home directory. "www" is a subdirectory of your home directory, and curriculumweb is a subdirectory of your www directory.

q       Here is the sequence as it should appear in your telnet application:                          

   

 

q       Now type "logout" and

q       click "ok" when it says you've been disconnected.
