==About the system==
*PHP 5.3.3
*Perl 5.10.1
==Initial Setup==
Use PuTTY, or your favorite SSH client.
==MYSQL==
==File Transfer==
===SFTP===
Using sftp is straight forward:
#Run sftp from your command line
#Use it.
For example, open a cmd prompt, then type:
sftp username@nber7.nber.org
ls
put Test.txt
exit
There is a [http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_sftp.htm documentation on the 'sftp'] command on about.com.
===SAMBA===
Using Samba is currently giving me problems - it appears that port forwarding is not currently supported.
However, there is a [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/tunnel.html 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 wizard. From this point on, in installation is as in the guide. The loopback adaptor is under 'Windows', when you browse for the adaptor.
===WGet===
The wget tool is installed on the NBER's linux boxes. This lets you retrieve files over HTTP.
Once you have SSH'd in, just:
wget url
e.g. wget http://www.edegan.com/images/EJE%20BlackOnWhite.jpg
==SAS==
endsas;
==Getting Help==
There is a online list for [http://www.nber.org/help/localhelp/support.htm support contacts]. The phone prefix is 617. I've mostly worked with Mohan Ramanajan, who is the primary Unix guru: [mailto:mohan@nber.org mohan@nber.org] or 617 588-0367
