Some of you have OCE accounts (this is so if your login does not start
with me152.. ) . Unfortunately this means that ACS gave you an account directory
which does not default you into the course directory space. Solution: login
to your account with a secure ftp program (WS_FTP if you are in the campus
lab), then use the directory display at the top of the interface to make
your current remote directory the following: /home/hp/iacs5/me152f/yourusername.
Place your zip file in that directory.
You will be turning in your homework by a three stage process:
clean your project
zip your project
ftp your file to your unix directory on the iacs5.ucsd.edu
server
Instructions:
First you must clean your project. With your project open
in visual C++, go to the menu-bar at the top, select build-clean.
Now your project is ready to be compressed into a zip
file. This preserves all of the names of the files, which occasionally get
truncated during moves across platforms. Open the zip program in windows
XP. If you are working from home you probably have a compression utility
on your hard drive which can create .ZIP files. Zip your entire project
folder into one file, name it your "username_prj1.zip." This is
important, because the homework collection script will not collect your
homework if it is not named correctly.
Use secure FTP to login to the iacs5 server using the
following in each field:
Server name:
iacs5.ucsd.edu
User name :
your username (ie me152##)
Password:
yourpassword
Once you have filled out these fields, click the CONNECT button
in order to log into your server space.
You will be presented with a list of files. These are the files
in your directory in iacs5 (there may be few if any if this is your first login).
The directory which you default to (ie the list you see) is the one to put the
file in. Use the PUT button, or drag the zip file into the file list window,
and your program will be copied into place. Be sure to use the binary mode option
(the other possibility is text mode) to insure a correct copy is made. If you
leave the default automatic mode, look at the information presented as the file
is uploaded, because it will inform you as to whether the file is copied as
binary or text. Again, it must be copied as binary.
DONE. Now go watch a movie with alot of
3d graphics in it and try to guess how they did it.
