Uploading to Andrew

When you finish a programming session, it is an excellent idea to save your work to your Andrew file space. Doing so ensures that your work is not lost (even if something happens to it on your own computer).

Additionally, your work is now available to all other computers that can access your Andrew file space.

To save your work
 

• Launch the Finder, and on its toolbar select Go | Home. You will see something like the following:

 

 

• Double click the MyAFS folder icon.  At this point, you have access to your files and folders on your Andrew account.  You are automatically logged in to your Andrew account when you log in.  This is the major reason you want to remember to log out at the end of each cluster session.
• Drag any project folders you modified into this folder.


Another method (one that saves space on your Andrew account) is to first zip your project folder into one file and then upload just that zip file to your Andrew account.

Remember, even if you are using your own computer, it is a good idea to archive project files from it onto your Andrew file space.

As the semester progresses, you might end up accumulating a lot of files. Because you do have a limit to your Andrew space, you may wish to remove unnecessary files and folders. During the semester, I'll mention a few things you can do to avoid saving unnecessary files.

To work on any material that you previously saved to your Andrew file space, you must first download it to your local system (typically to the desktop). To retrieve your work

• Launch the Finder, and on its toolbar, select Go | Home
• Double click the MyAFS folder icon.
• Drag your project folder from Andrew to the desktop.


Although CodeWarrior can start on the copy in your Andrew space, the program will not work correctly when you try to run your program. Instead, you must go into your project folder and start CW on the project's .mcp file.

If you zipped your project folder before uploading it, then it must be unzipped after downloading it to the desktop.
If you don't see the zip file on your desktop, click on the desktop (to refresh it) and you should see the zip file. To unzip, double click the downloaded zip file; after clicking on the desktop, you'll see the unzipped folder.
