Create a Link to Your Student Organization Group Directory

To create a link that will allow you to easily change to your student organization directory to manage your files:

  1. Log in to your UDelNet account using the SSH Secure Shell application.

    (If you do not have a copy of this application on your computer, you can download a free copy for a Windows computer from the UDeploy web site.) If you are using a Macintosh computer with OS X, use the Secure Terminal program that is included in Mac OS X.

  2. To create a link to your group directory, type

    1. ln -s ~www/docs/stu-org/directory_name  docs

    replacing directory_name with the name of your group directory as requested in your Student Application for Home Page. (Note: Be sure to include the tilde (~) before www as above.)

    Once you have created this link, you can use the UNIX "cd" command to move from your home directory to your Student Organization directory by typing

      cd docs

    then pressing the ENTER key. You can return to your home directory by typing

      cd

    and pressing the ENTER key.

Note: You can also manage your files using the SSH Secure Shell file transfer program, available from the University's software download page.
