Uploading Assignments

Each student is assigned an individual storage space on the Steel server. This space will remain active during their studies as a computational media major. Within the space, is a folder labeled "lcc2700" or similar. This is a link to the student's locker space within the LCC2700 class. All homework should be turned in to this locker space. Students must upload their assignments to this space prior to the due time, using the correct naming and folder system. The assignment can be revised and reloaded as many times as needed, as long as the new file replaces the old file.

Within the locker space, create two folders: "assignments" and "projects". The "assignments" folder will be used to place all of your written assignments. "Projects" will be used to store all future projects. Also place the main index page for your class web page on this level of the locker (do not put it in one of the folders.)

Using an FTP Program

The Steel server requires that you connect to it using the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP.) There are several free programs available for this purpose including FileZilla for Windows, and Fugu for Macs.

Start by creating a new FTP site. (The following images are made using FileZilla.)

You will need to use the Steel username and password which will be given to you during the first week of class. Make sure that your program is connecting on port 22. The host is: steel.lcc.gatech.edu

Once in your directory on the Steel server, you will create the two folders "assignments" and "projects." In FileZilla this is accomplished by right clicking on the right hand (server window) and selecting "Create Directory."

After creating your folder, double click on its icon to enter that folder. Select the file you wish to upload and choose upload. In FileZilla this is accomplished by right-clicking the file you wish to upload. The file should now appear in your assignment folder. Quit the application, go to the Written Assignments or Projects page, and make sure that your file is present and functioning.
