SSH Go the U of R website and look up SSH secure transfer files; then install it onto your computer First time signing on: Click on Quick Connect if you have signed on already, click on slate under your files (this is where it should be saved under) Host Name: slate.hlp.rochester.edu User Name: [your first and last name] After signing in, make sure slate is added to your profile /P Everything is available to all of HLP! Click on pull down menu on the right side of the SSH screen, then click on /P This is where we keep all of our shared files—one central location E.g. RAs, Poser, materials Materials folder: Headings, Poser files, Mechanical Turk files, etc. Whenever you are adding stimuli, add it to the ReadMe file under Materials When adding to the /P folder, be sure to monitor the permissions**!!!!!! RAs folder Can add unfinished work to be edited continuously Experiments folder Has to have the experimenter name added to file name Experiment folder within each experiment: Must have everything you need to run the experiment, including a script for running a subject Also has results and additional materials of the experiment Poser folder For Poser RAs mostly Has everything you need to install Poser on your computer (except for the installation discs) Instructions are on the Wiki on how to save Poser files Any extra characters you find/add on a computer, save it under correct file Save it under Service Pack folder as well Do not delete or overwrite info without asking first!! Making things readable on SSH Click on New Terminal (under Window) to change permissions Codes cd change directory ls –l list (long) h –s symbolic links chmod change what can be modified/what can be edited chgrp changes group ug user and group Uploading new files Find new file on the left side of SSH (your home directory) Create a new folder under the RAs folder under /p Two little “w”s under the attributes section of each file means you can write in the file One little “w” gives writing privileges to owner only A little “r” gives reading privileges A little “x” gives execution privileges Hit cd to change directories to RAs (where it should be saved) Hit tab button twice to see what is listed under that folder ls –s gives list of who wrote it, how big the file is, when it was created, and who has the permission to view it ug+rw gives permission to user and group to read and write on new file -R changes attributes in every folder/file you own to the new permission privileges * (space before * ) changes privileges for everything One tab button can finish the file notation you are typing out . stands for home (space before . ) ..goes up just one level (space before .. ) chgrpsave your file under another group/folder (if you want to save it under RAs folder, etc.) chownchange ownership of your file Order of notation: command, where you want the file to go to, and where it is now ln –sgives the file a new name in order to write new file name, you must start from /p/hlp and list every folder until you list the name of the folder you want your file saved under chgmod ug+rwx *allows everyone to modify what is in the file **Any questions on file notation—ask Katrina or Andrew!
