    Setting Site Permissions

    1) a.Download and install the Secure Shell Client from IRT's Computer Marketplace Download It section.

    b.Click on Start and go to Programs -> Communications -> Secure Shell Client. From your home computer, the path may be slightly different.

    2) To open the connection dialog box you can click on File and go to Connect or simply press Enter or Space Bar.

    3) Type in dunx1.irt.drexel.edu for the Host Name and enter YOUR userid for the User Name. Leave all of the other settings the way they appear. If they happen to be blank, set the port number to 22 and the Authentication Method to Keyboard Interactive.

    4) If this is the first time that you are using SSH to connect to your DUNX1 account then you will get a dialog box with the choices Yes, No and Cancel. This box is to verify the encryption key being used. Click Yes to proceed.

    5) You are now prompted to enter your password.

    6) You will now be presented with a command prompt on your DUNX1 account, which means that you are connected.

    7) Make sure that you have a public_html directory by typing the command ls and pressing enter. If you see the public_html directory listed, proceed to step 9, otherwise go to step 8.

    8) At the command prompt type in the command mkdir public_html and press enter. If you get the response:

    mkdir: Failed to make directory "public_html"; File exists
    that means that you already had the directory and can proceed to the next step.

    9) At the command prompt type in the command webshare and press enter.

    10) At the command prompt type in the command exit and press enter. This will disconnect you from your DUNX1 account. You only need to run this command once for your permissions to be set.

    You may be presented with a different connection sequence then the one that is illustrated above. that sequence contains a welcome message from the server, to which you just click OK. Following that is a window where you type in your password and click OK. Finally you are presented with anohter confirmation window to which you just need to click OK.
