If you're in YSTV
If you have less than a few gigabytes to move, find a flash drive or external hard drive and copy it off an edit PC, it'll be quickest.
Otherwise, on the desk with Graphics PC, there should be a spare network cable (by the window, currently grey), plug this in and turn off your wireless - it should be a faster than eduroam.
On Windows
Go to \\ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk\ and enter your server username (in the form YSTV\firstname.lastname) and password when prompted. Then copy files to your heart's content!
On Linux/Mac
Mount smb://ystvfsrv.york.ac.uk/Pending\ Edits (or similar) using workgroup of YSTV and your username/password, and again copy to your heart's content.
You can do the mount from Finder on a Mac, by going Go > Connect to Server and filling in the smb:// address above.
If you're not in YSTV
If you only want to download files, read HowTo Add a file to user space on YSTV website
If you're off campus, you'll need to tunnel in to the VPN first for any of this to work: go to https://webvpn.york.ac.uk
- Using your favourite SFTP client (WinSCP is recommended for Windows, or Cyberduck for Mac, Linux users you can probably figure it out), connect to
ystv.york.ac.ukwith your server username (thefirstname.lastnameone) and password. - Browse to the location of the file you want (probably somewhere in
/dataor/mnt). For uploading shows go to/mnt/UserDataand upload it there to put on the website.
If these all fail/you can't see the file
