Created page with 'Ragnarok hosts files using several different protocols. * [ftp://ragnarok ftp access] can be used from your browser and is the preferred way to link to files from the wiki. * SM...'

New page

Ragnarok hosts files using several different protocols.

* [ftp://ragnarok ftp access] can be used from your browser and is the preferred way to link to files from the wiki.
* SMB (windows sharing) can be used by Windows users. Windows users may want to [[Map network drives]] for the server. If you are not personnel, you can simply browse the files available to all users by clicking Start, selecting Run and typing <pre>\\ragnarok</pre>.

Files are divided into Personnel-only, Student and Group files. Ask [mailto:carl.sandrock@up.ac.za Carl] about obtaining write-access (so that you can upload or change files).

+The ftp protocol is the prefered method for linking files to the wiki. Public ftp should be used for open access files and the local ftp for private files. Files can be uploaded on the server using ftp clients such as FileZilla, gFTP, Cyberduck (Mac) or Nautilus. The general access structure is;
 * [ftp://ragnarok/ ftp://ragnarok/] : this takes you to the public ftp when using browsers. When using a ftp client you will be prompted to log in, this is equivalent to anonymous login with no password.
 * [ftp://personnel@ragnarok/ ftp://personnel@ragnarok/] : this prompts for authentication and takes you to the files of the user. You will also be taken to this directory when you login as a user using an ftp client.

 As with all private files, authentication will be required.
 ==CIFS/SMB==
 The shared files of a user/group can be accessed using a file manager such as Windows Explorer or Nautilus. Windows users may want to [[Map network drives]] for the server.  If you are not personnel, you can simply browse the files available to all users by clicking Start, selecting Run and typing <tt>\\ragnarok</tt>.

+Files are divided into Personnel-only, Student and Group files. A public ftp directory also exists mainly for files linked to the wiki. All three protocols direct to the same files (of a user) and will require authentication (with the slight exception of the public ftp). The use of each protocol is briefly described in the sections below. The username '''''personnel''''' will be used in all examples.
