On the Gateways you have a two separate home directories from your college home directory (engineering account).
Currently the Linux and Windows file systems are separate.

There is very limited space for these directories and as yet there is no method for backing them up.
I recommend you make your own backup copies of on a floppy or zip disk.
 

LINUX

WINDOWS

You can transfer files between the systems using the ssh program. Home Directory: Your home directory should be in "/home/<username>" If you are lost in an uknown path try using this command. It will let you know where you are:  prompt# pwd To get back to your home directory use:  prompt# cd To go to the left( or upper) directory use:  prompt# cd .. For more useful commands print your own copy of our new LINUX COMMAND REFRENCE sheet. especially made for linux users in B361

You can transfer files between the systems using the ssh program. Home Directory: Z:\  is your home directory, it provides 200MB of space.  All your files should be saved to your home directory on the Z: drive. This can be found by double clicking the My Computer icon. If you have saved files to My Documents or any place other than the Z: drive,  they are in danger of being lost (deleted).
