This site is our workshop "portal." This is where all the materials for the workshop will go. It's also a site you'll upload your work to each day.

Setup

If you don't have an FTP program, download one. 🦆 Cyberduck is free. I'll give instruction in Cyberduck, but you can apply these general directions to any FTP program.

  1. Open up 🦆 Cyberduck

  2. Click the "+" button in the lower left corner

  1. Change the upper dropdown to say "SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)." Make sure to do this, if you select normal "FTP" it won't work.

TK

  1. You can fill in the nickname to whatever is useful for you to remember.

  2. We will send you an email with the things to enter here ... the server, username, and password.

  1. There is no "Done" button, so just press the red circle to close in the upper left corner.

  2. You should now see that you added a bookmark to your 🦆 Cyberduck home. You'll see what you just created there. (The nickname you gave it will be listed.) Double click on it to open...

  3. When you see something that looks like a set of folders and files (the same ones as are on the site itself), you're in!

Uploading

As I mentioned, the portal is the server we are all sharing. (A server or host is a computer that's always connected to the internet.) Since we are all sharing this server, we should take special precaution and care in using it correctly — so that we don't delete, move, or overwrite anyone's files. In other words, each of you has spiderman-level powers and responsibility in accessing this server. Be careful not to accidentally delete anyone's work or move it to a strange place.

Recommended:

Download your username's folder onto your computer.

This is your "local" version of your files. This is good to have in case anything bad does happen to your files on the portal, the "remote" version.

Never edit files directly via the portal.

Instead, when it's time to change or update files on the portal, drag and drop your files from your computer onto the folder where they belong in the portal. 🦆 Cyberduck will ask you if it's okay to overwrite them. Double check the details of the overwrite before confirming.

Once you make a change in the portal (like uploading your work), you can check it out on the web viewable side by going to http://maze.fruitful.school and navigating to your appropriate folder.

You will also notice this tutorial is available as a webpage. That way, you are able to download this tutorial as both content and code. Feel free to check its source!

Happy portal-ing!
