EIT maintains a number of servers and
other options for storing, sharing, and publishing your
data. In most cases, using a file server is the
recommended way to exchange files, rather than using
your own computer's sharing capabilities. You
may also wish to consult our web
publishing page.
| Linux: Jove File
Server |
| |
Jove.eng.yale.edu
is our departmental Linux file/cluster server.
It provides services to the Linux cluster: eitx001-eitx010
(workstations). It also has an Apache web
server, which is available for those applications
requiring the Linux/Apache environment.
|
| Windows 2000: Entity
File Server |
| |
Our Windows 2000 server (entity.eng.yale.edu)
provides HTTP (using Microsoft IIS with Front Page
extensions), Windows (SMB), and AppleShare data
services. Your Entity account must be individually
enabled for AppleShare access; contact EIT.
Entity is the primary web server for Engineering
"institutional" uses.
|
| ITS: Pantheon File
Server |
| |
Your Pantheon account at ITS can be used in various
ways. Normally, people log in to run PINE
to access email, or they connect to the Pantheon's
POPmail or IMAP servers to access email through
Eudora or a similar local mail client. However,
the Pantheon login servers (minerva, mars, morpheus,
mercury) do provide a full-featured Unix command
line interface and file system.
With your login account, you can transfer data using
FTP, SAMBA (Windows), or AppleShare (Mac).
You can place your personal HTML files in a public_html
subdirectory and publish them on the Web.
The URL will have the form http://pantheon.yale.edu/~username/...
See http://pantheon.yale.edu/help/publishing.html
for details.
There is an anonymous FTP capability on the Pantheon,
but it is not normally provided for user accounts.
|
| ITS: www.yale.edu
(elsinore.cis.yale.edu) |
| |
Elsinore is Yale's principal web service.
You can access Elsinore by SSH, windows file sharing,
or other secure file transfer methods. See
www.yale.edu/webmaster.
Accounts are available to any bona fide Yale
organization or department, but not to individuals.
See www.yale.edu/webmaster/elsinore.guidelines.html
for the scoop.

| Sharing your own
hard drive |
| |
If you have a personal computer of any modern
sort, it is possible to use your machine as a
file or web server to share data with someone
else or so that you can access your PC from another
location. Windows PCs and Macintoshes both
have fairly elaborate ways of sharing specific
files or directories on your hard drive.
Using personal computers for file sharing is
not the answer to all situations, however, since
PCs are insecure and unreliable by "server"
standards. You may be opening up your system
to network intrusion by turning on file sharing;
many users are not able to judge whether their
sharing is "safe". Also, users
will turn off their PCs or carry their laptops
around, so that the network services are not always
available.
We recommend turning your file sharing or web
service "off" when it is not specifically
required.
