File Services
This document describes the rudimentary steps in establishing utilize file services on the Athens, Corinth and Cronus servers in order to store and retrieve files on those systems. It is assumed you have already have an account on one of those systems username and password, if you do not go to the accounts howto.
Supported Protocols
There are three protocols supported for file services on the SSD servers. Each protocol has a native platform. For Macs, AppleShare. For UNIX, SFTP, For Windows, SMB. A shell login to one of the SSD servers allows you to run hosted applications.

SFTP
-
Most other UNIX and UNIX-like machines (such as harper.uchicago.edu) will already have an SFTP client installed, you can find out by entering the command
sftp username@athens.src.uchicago.edu, sftp username@corith.spc.uchicago.edu, sftp username@cronus.spc.uchicago.edu or sftp username@rhodes.spc.uchicago.edu from the prompt. If an error appears please contact the site administrator. Note: Mac OS X and Linux are UNIX-like machines. Also you may obtain graphical versions for Windows and Macintosh.

AppleShare

Apple File Protocol is mainly intended for use with Macintoshes. From a pre-Mac OS X Mac you can connect to our servers in two ways. In the lab: 1) Select "Chooser" from the "Apple Menu". Click once on the "AppleShare" icon. Double-Click on either ACC, CCP Cluster, Rhodes, or Athens in the upper right side of the chooser. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. Or from any Mac on the Internet 2) Select "Chooser" from the "Apple Menu". Click on the "Server IP Address" Button". Type in
athens.src.uchicago.edu, corinth.spc.uchicago.edu, cronus.spc.uchicago.edu or rhodes.spc.uchicago.edu. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username.
From Mac OS X select "Connect to Server" from the "go" menu. Enter afp://athens.src.uchicago.edu, afp://corinth.spc.uchicago.edu, afp://cronus.spc.uchicago.edu or afp://rhodes.spc.uchicago.eduin the address field. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. Once you have completed any of these methods you should now have an icon on your desktop labeled with your username. Simply treat this as a disk, dragging files in and out of it and when you are done, drag it to the "Trash".

SMB - Windows File sharing
-
Server Message Block Protocol is mainly intended for use with Windows machines. You can connect to the server by selecting "Run" from the "Start" Menu. Enter
\\athens.src.uchicago.edu, \\corinth.spc.uchicago.edu, \\cronus.spc.uchicago.edu or \\rhodes.spc.uchicago.edu and click OK. Enter your username and password when prompted. When the window opens double-click on the folder with your username. Of course you must be connected to the internet and have the "Client for Microsoft Networks" loaded on you computer. Also it often helps to set your WINS server to the IP address of the server you are trying to connect to. From Mac OS X you can select Connect to Server... from the Go. Type in the URL for the desired server (eg. smb://athens.src.uchicago.edu, smb://corinth.spc.uchicago.edu, smb://cronus.spc.uchicago.edu) or smb://rhodes.spc.uchicago.edu). In the dialog box that appears click on authenticate and enter your username and password. From a UNIX machine should use Samba. The following are commands that would connect to the SSCS servers (where username is your username): smbclient \\\\athens.src.uchicago.edu\\username -U username, smbclient \\\\corinth.spc.uchicago.edu\\username -U username, smbclient \\\\cronus.spc.uchicago.edu\\username -U username or smbclient \\\\rhodes.spc.uchicago.edu\\username -U username
