5. Oncourse A110 uses the web-based Oncourse Course Management System Log in to Oncourse: Open Internet Explorer Open Internet Explorer Navigate to http://oncourse.iu.edu/ Navigate to http://oncourse.iu.edu/http://oncourse.iu.edu/ Log in and click on our lab section Log in and click on our lab section

6. A Quick Assignment Send me an email from the Oncourse email system.

7. Creating Accounts This course requires that you have a “steel” account. In IE (Internet Explorer) go to http://itaccounts.iu.edu. Follow the instructions to set up both accounts. http://itaccounts.iu.edu If there is a problem with your password you may need to reset your password at https://password.iu.edu https://password.iu.edu

8. Using a Web Server (steel) Run the Secure Shell application (SSH) Connect to steel.ucs.indiana.edu At home: you can download SSH from iuware.indiana.edu At home: you can download SSH from iuware.indiana.edu Once you have logged in, type “spinweb” at the prompt and press enter. This sets up your account for making web pages.

9. File Management (WinXP) “File Cabinet” metaphor: files are arranged in a collection of folders Folders can contain other folders Organizing folders allows you to find your work later on

10. File Management Practice Opening Windows Explorer (not I.E.) Creating folders Navigating in Windows Explorer Moving/Renaming/Deleting Folders Saving files Moving/Renaming/Deleting Files Copying Files

11. Local vs. Network “Local” refers to storage on the hard drive of the computer you’re working on – This allows quick access and is how you would work on a home or office computer – Unfortunately, files in the labs are regularly wiped clean “Network” storage is located at a separate location (e.g. CFS) – Provides safety and backups for important files

12. Set up WebDav Login to Oncourse Put a folder in either your drop box or your Workspace Go to your Network Connections and setup a Network connection to your Sakai resources folder Use the Browser to practice moving and copying files

13. Organizing WebDav folders in Oncourse Create an A110 folder Create five subfolders in A110: – HTML – Word – Excel – Access – Service

14. Uploading files to steel Open Notepad and create an example file. Save it as test.html Open the SFTP application Upload test.html into the www directory Run spinweb again (using SSH) http://mypage.iu.edu/~username/test.html

15. Comparison: Local, CFS, and web server We have discussed three distinct places where we can save files: – On a local hard drive (or floppy drive) Access using the Explorer – On the WebDav/Oncourse system Access using the web page (or map a drive) – On the web server “steel” Copy files using SFTP, run “spinweb” using SSH
