===FTP for Remote Access===

Transfer of large data amounts can be achieved by making the data available to outside users. The outside user needs to know the following:

 ftp mike.kin.ucalgary.ca
 Login: france
 Password: bonelab0

Note that the password may have been changed, or the account disabled.  It can be changed by anyone with administrative access.  On OS-X, use the Workgroup Manager to do this (this can be run from any OS-X client, you do not need to use VNC to log into mike.kin directly).  After selecting the "france" account in the Workgroup Manager, you can check or uncheck "access account" to enable or disable this account.

To access the server from a command line, do the following:

 $ ftp mike.kin.ucalgary.ca
 Connected to mike.kin.ucalgary.ca.
 220 mike.kin.ucalgary.ca FTP server ready.
 Name (mike.kin.ucalgary.ca:skboyd): france
 331 Password required for france.
 Password: 
 230-No directory! Logging in with home=/
 230 User france logged in.
 Remote system type is UNIX.
 Using binary mode to transfer files.
 ftp> cd Guests
 250 CWD command successful.
 ftp> prompt off
 Interactive mode off.
 ftp> binary
 200 Type set to I.
 ftp> mget *.*

At our end, we need to make the data available.  This is possible by moving the data of interest onto mike.kin.ucalgary.ca into the Guests folder and setting proper permissions.
 ssh skboyd@mike.kin.ucalgary.ca
 cd /Shared Items/Guests/       ! and so on
 chmod 755 *.*                  ! to get rwxr-xr-x

Remember to remove the data after the outside party has downloaded it.
