HCS Uploading

From FreeBio

This protocol specifies how to upload files to the iGEM HCS account.

1. Log into your FAS UNIX account (use SecureCRT, PuTTY, Terminal, etc.)
2. Type "ssh iGEM@hcs" (case sensitive, no quotes)
   • You should now be logged into the iGEM HCS account and can navigate around as you do in your FAS account
   • If you are asked for a password, then you aren't on the access list (talk to User:YvesWang)
3. Type "sftppasswd" (no quotes)
   • You will be prompted for a password and to confirm it
   • The password will be good until 3 AM or when someone runs sftppasswd again
4. SFTP or FTP over SSH2 to the host hcs.harvard.edu (use SecureFX, MacSFTP Carbon, etc.)
5. Type in "iGEM" as the username and the password you just generated as the password (both are case sensitive)
6. Navigate to the "web" folder and then to whatever appropriate subfolder for the file you're uploading
7. Drag and drop the files from your local machine to the server
   • If you can't access the files, check the permissions; most files should be 644 (rw-r--r--)
8. Close your shell and SFTP sessions when you're finished
