How to move files between machines

On the college's Windows computers:

Open All Programs, select the PuTTY folder, and then launch PSFTP.

Type "open cs1.cornellcollege.edu"

Login with your username and the password for your account on the server.

Determine where the file that you want to move from the Windows machine is located on your Windows computer. Do this by pointing to the file, clicking with the right button on the mouse, and selecting properties. You will see something like "C:\Users\iasimov\summary.txt."

Put yourself in that folder on the Windows computer by typing (for example) "lcd C:\Users\iasimov".

Verify that you are in the Windows folder that you want by typing "!dir". You should see your file among the files that are listed.

Put yourself into the folder on the Linux server into which you want to move this file by typing (for example)  "cd courses/cs131".

Move the file from the Windows computer to the Linux server by typing (for example) "put summary.txt".

Confirm that the file is on the server by typing "ls" and looking for your file among the files that are listed.

When done, quit by typing "quit".

If you wish, you can now log onto the server with PuTTY and use Linux commands to move, rename, or edit your file on the server.
