Homework Submission Instructions

Home Up

Assignments should be zip files named after your Andrew ID and homework number, e.g. rbd_01.zip.
They should be submitted by SCP (Secure CoPy) to django.music.cs.cmu.edu as instructed below. Please use SCP to avoid someone sniffing the password and taking over this machine.
Each homework will have a directory, e.g. hw01, hw02, etc. You should submit your homeworks into the appropriate directories.
Never delete, move, or alter another student's homework.
Please be very careful. Since the class is sharing one account, you can delete another student's work. You should keep personal backups of your submissions.
You may listen to the submissions by other students.

Secure Copy for Windows

Download WinSCP. I installed WinSCP 3.8.2 from here.
Install WinSCP in the normal way.
Configure a session:
Host name is django.music.cs.cmu.edu
User name is icm2007
Leave the password blank
Protocol (IMPORTANT) is SFTP
Save... the session
Try it out
click the Login button
type the password (available in class)
you should see a graphical file browsing and copying interface

Secure Copy for Linux and Mac OS X

To copy your file, use a command line like this:
scp rbd_01.zip icm2007@django.music.cs.cmu.edu:hw01/
If you copy a file to the wrong place or the wrong name, or you just want to check your file, use ssh, logging in as icm2007 on django.music.cs.cmu.edu. Once you log in, you can use the following commands (among others):
Use ls to list directories
Use cd to change the current directory
Use rm filename to delete a file (be careful!)
Use mv from-name to-name to move or rename a file
