Initial Setup

You will want to do the following:

Create yourself a directory on a (local - i.e. scratch7 or scratch8 on nber7) scratch volume and link it:

mkdir /disk/scratch8/username
ln  -s /disk/scratch8/username/ scratch

Create your web directory (accessible at www.nber.org/~username - this currently doesn't work for me):

mkdir public_html
chmod ugo+r public_html

Connecting Remotely

Using sftp is straight forward:

  1. Download the sftp client (OpenSSH) from the NBER directly (you only need to install the client)
  2. Run sftp from your command line
  3. Use it.

Using Samba is currently giving me problems.

However, there is a help guide, and if you are using windows 7 then search cmd.exe, right click, run as adminstrator, and then rype: hdwwiz.exe to run the hardware wizzard. From this point on, in installation is as in the guide. The loopback adaptor is under 'Windows', when you browse for the adaptor.
