Erindale submit from home instructions

The following instructions describe the process of submitting an assignment electronically from home. The primary focus of this document is submission of program solution files in either the CSC 108 and CSC 148 courses.

The names "submit" or "hand-in" will be used interchangably, they both refer to the same operation.

Instructions

  1. You will need an ftp client installed and working on your home machine (or whatever machine you intend to submit your work from). Installing and using this is your own responsibility. A simple command line utility is included in many current OS's (Win 9x, Linux, OS/2 Warp). Try typing "ftp tuzo.erin.toronto.edu" at a command line prompt. Fetch is a common ftp client for MacOS machines. Ws_ftp is for Windows from Ipswitch. There is a free version of WS_FTP for academic users. They sell a pro version from their website.
  2. Connect to the server, "tuzo.erin.toronto.edu".
  3. Login with your account name and password.
  4. Change directory to:

    /student/submithome/{course_number}/{assignment_number}/{your_login}
    where for example: /student/submithome/csc108h/a0/e0f2m2wm

  5. Transfer the files from your local machine to the server, read the lab instructions for more details. "Binary" mode is recommended if your home machine runs Windows, "ascii" for MacOS.
