Submitting code

For Dr. Taylor:

  1. If you are working in your room, scp the data to the lab machines. For example:
    scp aFile.java username@machine.academy.usna.edu:~/where/you/want/to/put/it Using the option -r will allow you to move whole directories.
  2. From one of the lab machines, run /courses/taylor/submit (note the opening '/'). The command will result in a list of assignments open for submission.
  3. Put your code into a directory with the exact same name as the assignment you are trying to submit. For example, if you are trying to submit a Project01, your directory cannot be called "project01" or "Project1." This is the most common source of difficulty.
  4. Step out of that directory, so that if you ran ls, you would see your "Project01" (or whatever) directory.
  5. Run /courses/taylor/submit Project01/ If it doesn't say "Submission successful," it didn't work.

For CDR Blenkhorn:

Same as above, except substitute 'blenk' in place of 'taylor'.
