Getting Files, (other than by clicking)
Suppose you want to transfer a file offered on these pages, for example: storm_of_the_century.zip , to your webserver, which is most likely Gentry. Here are three ways to get it to your public_html directory:
The clumsy way
First click on the above link to transfer the file to your local computer. Then transfer it to your server with scp. For example, on your local Linux/Mac, type:
scp storm_of_the_century.zip joestudent@gentry.metr.ou.edu:~/public_html/.
Enter your Gentry password at the prompt. If your local machine is running Windows, you will need to use a utility that supports scp.
The direct way ''Gentry''
An up-to-date copy of the file should be in the directory /it on Gentry. All users on Gentry have permissions to copy files from /it. On Gentry, within your public_html directory, simply type:
cp /it/storm_of_the_century.zip .
On another Linux server
Copy the link location from the above, and prepend wget and execute the command on your server:
wget http://itmetr.net/it/storm_of_the_century.zip
