This page is intended to introduce to a new user or clarify to an existing user some key facts about the CHG unix environment.
Contents
How to Get an Account
To acquire an account, please contact Pete or Libby. Please be sure to provide your full name. Your unix username should be your first name, unless that is already taken.
Standard Directories
As a general rule, the following directories should be created and owned by [user]:chg
/home/[user]
This is your home directory. It is backed up once per day. It is not a place to put any data, even for a short time!
/home/source/[user]
This is where we encourage users to put codes, scripts, and/or intellectual property. Please note, this directory is accessible to most other users so it is reasonable to expect them to look around to see how you're doing things. This separates your code from any other files you may keep in your home directory.
This is backed up often. It is not a place to put any data!
/home/chg-[user]
This is a directory for your user-specific data that does not yet have another logical place to be in our /home/databits universe. Talk to Pete if you are not sure. /home/chg-[user] is backed up once per week.
As your data becomes more significant/relevant, consider migrating it to a /home/databits directory.
/home/sandbox/people/[user]
This directory is for large data sets that never need to be backed up and/or that you can get again. Make sure that the code to re-get the data you put here lives in /home/source/[user].
/home/ftp_out/people/[user]
This is the user's personal directory on our ftp server (see FTP below).
FTP
To add data to our ftp site, use the directory located at /home/ftp-out. This directory is write only, meaning that the outside world can't access it.
When you want to point others to the data on our ftp site, you can direct them to ftp://chg-dub.geog.ucsb.edu/pub/org/chg/.
