1 LMS notes
- I forgot that LMS had copied over all of last year's assignments. Sorry, they're deleted now. #. This year's assignments are a little different. Some careful people noticed. #. If you really want to see last year's they're available on last year's course page.
- I'm using LMS only for students to submit work and for TAs to submit grades. The text of the assignments will be only on the course page.
2 Homework 1 hints
- Mac users: ssh to rcs.rpi.edu with terminal.
- Windows users: install putty. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to install SW on the classroom PC and so can't demo it.
- Linux: run ssh to login to rcs.rpi.edu.
- For copying files:
- For a few small files, cut and paste.
- Windows: install winscp or filezilla.
- From inside your rcs account: wget copies the contents (files or dirs) specified by a URL.
- With an AFS client program, your RCS directory is read and writable from another computer. On linux, that's the openafs-client package.
- From any OS, you may be able to mount your RCS dir as a share thus: sftp://rcs.rpi.edu .
- Other platforms: ?
