Because the old server, kennel.rice.edu, died, a new server now handles hosting organization web pages. To access the new server, organization.rice.edu, a few changes may be necessary to your current setup.
First, the changes which the new server caused are detailed here. They include:
- SSH access to organization.rice.edu from Rice networks only
- Default Shell on organization.rice.edu is bash
- no FTP access. SFTP access only.
- No samba/CIFS access supported.
- No X11 supported.
- Pine is replaced with ALPINE.
The Nomenclature
The new server is called organization.rice.edu, but "ftp.ruf.rice.edu" and "organization.rice.edu" point to the same server, the new one. However, the way paths are dictated for organization.rice.edu is different from kennel.rice.edu, so old pathways will likely not work. Correcting the path name to your remote directory is necessary to get access to organization.rice.edu. For some FileZilla, no remote directory need be named, because FileZilla will go to the home directory of the account automatically.
Setting Up FileZilla for the First Time
- Create a new profile. Under the General tab, make sure the following settings are correct: Host is "organization.rice.edu" *; Port is 22; Protocol is "SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol" * and that the Logon Type is "Ask for Password" *.
- Leave the Remote Directory Field blank.
- To continue the setup process, I need an account with which to test woot.
Setting Up Dreamweaver for the First Time
- I also need an account to do this.
