File Services
This document describes the rudimentary steps in establishing utilize file services on the CCP server in order to store and retrieve files on that system. It is assumed you have already have an account on the system (username and password). If you do not go to the accounts howto.
Supported Protocols
There are three protocols supported for file services on the CCP server. Each protocol has a native platform. For Macs, AppleShare. For UNIX, SFTP. For Windows, SMB. A shell login to one of the CCP server allows you to run hosted applications.

SFTP
-
Most other UNIX and UNIX-like machines (such as harper.uchicago.edu) will already have an SFTP client installed, you can find out by entering the command
sftp username@ccp.spc.uchicago.edu from the prompt. If an error appears please contact ccp-help@listhost.uchicago.edu. Note: Mac OS X and Linux are UNIX-like machines.

AppleShare

Apple File Protocol is mainly intended for use with Macintoshes. From a pre-Mac OS X Mac you can connect to CCP in two ways. In the lab: 1) Select "Chooser" from the "Apple Menu". Click once on the "AppleShare" icon. Double-Click on CCP in the upper right side of the chooser. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. Or from any Mac on the Internet 2) Select "Chooser" from the "Apple Menu". Click on the "Server IP Address" Button". Type in
ccp.spc.uchicago.edu. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. From Mac OS X select "Connect to Server" from the "go" menu. Enter afp://ccp.spc.uchicago.edu in the address field. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. Once you have completed any of these methods you should now have an icon on your desktop labeled with your username. Simply treat this as a disk, dragging files in and out of it and when you are done, drag it to the "Trash". To connect using this protocol from a Windows machine you will need a third party product such as PC MacLAN.

SMB - Windows File sharing

Server Message Block Protocol is mainly intended for use with Windows machines. You can connect to the server by selecting "Run" from the "Start" Menu. Enter
\\ccp.spc.uchicago.edu and click OK. Enter your username and password when prompted. When the window opens double-click on the folder with your username. Of course you must be connected to the internet and have the "Client for Microsoft Networks" loaded on you computer. From Mac OS X select "Connect to Server" from the "go" menu. Enter smb://ccp.spc.uchicago.edu in the address field. Enter your username and password when prompted. Select your home directory by double-clicking on your username. From a UNIX machine you have to have Sharity installed. The use of this is beyond the scope of this document.
