We're in the process of getting all of the usernames finalized, but the general instructions are:
  • * Open Cyberduck, SSH in via Terminal (on Mac), or via PuTTY (on Windows)
  • * For Cyberduck:
    • ** Click Open Connection
    • ** Ensure SFTP is selected
    • ** Server: type in sftp://cg3wXX@acsweb.ucsd.edu
    • ** Username and Password: type in your COGS 3 username and password. See piazza post about this if you are unsure about this.
    • ** Port: If it's not 22 you didn't select SFTP
    • ** Click the Connect button
    • ** You should see your public_html directory there. This is the folder you will submit to.
  • * Through SSH:
    • ** On your local machine (in terminal or putty), navigate to the directory containing the files you want to add.
    • ** Now SCP your files to your COGS 3 account.
    • *** Your command will look something like:
