• Publish it on the Web:
  • On Unix, use the /users/username/public_html/ directory.

  • On NT, use the \\polaris\username share, put files in the pubic_html folder.

  • URL will be: http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~username/myfile

  • index.html (or index.shtml) in this area is your "work page". No such file means anyone can do a directory listing on the area.

• Use a binary protocol like FTP:
  • /home/ftp/NRAO-staff/username/
    (ask a sysadmin to set this up if it's not already there)

  • On NT, use the //polaris/ftp-user share (or //polaris/ftp-staff)

  • Access instructions for your colleagues:
    • connect to ftp.cv.nrao.edu
    • cd to /NRAO-staff/username
    • bin (if content is not plain text)
    • get myfile
