File Transfers ~ OSU only

FTP using MacOS X from off campus

1. From the Finder menu, select Go->Connect to servers.
2. Type afp://onid-fs.onid.orst.edu/ in the server address field.
   • Type your ONID UserID and Password when prompted.
     • Your name may be in the name field but you’ll want to replace it with your ONID userID.
     • If you are not prompted for the userID and password, then try it again; you won’t be able to transfer files to the web server without authenticating the login.
3. Open the public_html folder.
• View by files rather than folders to see the organization of directories and files at a glance.
4. Drag and drop files into the public_html folder.
   • Keep the organization of files and folders the same as you have on your hard drive to keep from breaking links within the html documents.

For other Mac OS X or 9 options, see the ONID site.

FTP with Dreamweaver

• Dreamweaver and SSH setup

FTP with ONID

• ONID and Blackboard set up

SSH to the database

• You ssh into shell.onid.oregonstate.edu as normal, then execute
  • mysql -h oniddb.cws.oregonstate.edu -u -p
  • You will be prompted for a password. It is the password supplied on the ONID Web Database page.
• Or you can execute
  • mysql -h oniddb.cws.oregonstate.edu -u[onid login] -p[onidDB password]
  • so that you don’t have to wait for a prompt. Also for your onid login, you have to precede it with ‘onid_’ before you type in your onid login.
    • This actually beats using the prompt because you actually get to see your password as you input it, which saves you a lot of trouble, since the password is also case sensitive.
