Hi,

This is what i did when I was a pitt student...

All pitt students get an afs quota. Your afs
directory is /afs/pitt.edu/home/d/g/dgm4
You can write to this space while logged into
unixs or any of the sunboxes in the labs.
If you are on another machine with afs installed,
you can type klog dgm4 at pitt.edu in the shell
it will the ask you for your password.  Then
you can cp files to /afs/pitt.edu/home/d/g/dgm4
all you want, even if you are not on the pitt
network.

If you are on a windows or mac, you still can ftp
to the same directory for upload/download.
ftp.pitt.edu use your user & pass and it will
automatically upload to your same afs directory.

If you want your stuff to be downloadable from
a web browser, put files in your
/afs/pitt.edu/home/d/g/dgm4/public/html directory
and then they will be seen at 
http://www.pitt.edu/~dgm4

Everybody starts off with 5megs of space, but if
you need more, all you have to do is ask for it.
If you need more than 20megs you may have to get
a faculty member to sign for it.

Here is a website were I learned most of this
stuff as a student
http://www.pitt.edu/~document/html.html
Some of the stuff maybe a little outdated but
I think it's enough to get you started.

Good Luck,
Beth Lynn
