8 Computer Science & Informatics: <strong>Introductory</strong> <strong>Note</strong> <strong>832</strong><br />

Now you can create local directory and mount your filespace on one of our gateway<br />

servers into it. The format is:<br />

mount -t davfs -o uid=myname https://SSS.cs.cf.ac.uk/ mountpoint<br />

In this, myname is your username on your own PC or laptop, and SSS is one of the<br />

School’s gateway server. For example, to connect to your Novell H: drive:<br />

mkdir ˜/h<br />

sudo mount -t davfs -o uid=myname https://driveh.cs.cf.ac.uk/ ˜/h<br />

You will be prompted for your username and password.<br />

Now the files can be accessed through directory h.<br />

To disconnect from the server, use umount to unmount the directory:<br />

sudo umount ˜/h<br />

1.7 Filezilla<br />

Filezilla is a portable STFP application available on all platforms. It gives you a window<br />

divided vertically such that the left-hand panel is a view of the local file system, while<br />

the right-hand panel is a view of the remote file system. You can drag and drop files<br />

between the two.<br />

If you prefer to use Filezilla, it can be downloaded from http://filezilla-project.org/.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
