Music 405
Assignment # 10.
Transfer all your sound files to your new CMP accounts following these steps:
1.
2.
3.
Give each file an easy recognizable (and not too long) name ending in .au
Open a terminal window on your computer
From the directory (folder) where you have your sound files type:
sftp netID@luigi.music.uiuc.edu
(netID is your net id)
(you may substitute: sal, james, pierre, edgard, ben, or herbert for luigi)
you are now on a CMP computer
a)
b)
c)
d)
At the prompt, enter your new password
type: put filename.au
(filename.au – substitute the name of the file you want to transfer)
....repeat for each file
type bye to end the session
For the enquiring minds:
Useful LINUX commands:
ls
cp oldfile newfile
cd
cd ..
pwd
rm filename
mv file1 file2
- list the content of local directory
- copy a file to a new one
- change directory
- go to the parent directory (one up)
- path to working directory
- remove file
- move (rename) file1 to file2
All these command will refer to the remote computer while you are in the sftp mode. You may precede any of the
above commands by an l (for local) to have them apply to your local directory (on your homer computer) ex. lls will show
all the files you have in your working directory.
Shortcut: while in sftp mode you may use thew mput command to transfer more than one file at the time using a
wild card character *:
mput *.au
will transfer all the files ending in .au. If you choose to do so, make sure you do not have in your folder any .au files that
you do not want to transfer – first remove them from that directory.
Warning: Linux does not recognize file names containing a blank space (such as file name) – it will think that you are
talking about two separate files.
Assignments are due the immediately following session.
