CISC4322  Lab1  (due: Thursday 1/18/07)

     For our first Telecomm assignment, we are going to practice with secure shall and secure copy on the "mars.umhb.com" server.

O.K., now to the assignment:

1. Download and install the secure shell client and secure shell copy client. These are located on the main cisc4322 web-page. Look under the pull-down menu titles (Useful Downloads, Internet)...

2. Secure shell (using putty) into the "mars.umhb.edu" server.

3. Change your password (Yes, I will check...).

4. At the Linux prompt execute the following commands:
[user@mars]$ passwd
Follow the instruction...
[user@mars user]$ logout

5. Using a browser, Navigate to your web page from the Our Pages link at http://mars.umhb.edu/.

6. Modify index.html, your name should apear here. Use your own picture file or cooltext.com. This can be accomplished by using secure copy to upload a new picture.

7. Modify aboutme.html, your picture or some other picture should appear here. This can be accomplished by using secure copy to upload a changed aboutme.html or using secure shell (putty) to modify aboutme.html. You can use nano as an editor. You may also need to use secure copy (scp) to transfer files.


Turn in:
This time there is nothing to turn in; I will check the server to evaluate your work (just after class on the due date). I will however be handing back a paper detailing your work.   If you have questions, my email address is given below...
