2. Accessing your web site users folder from a Linux account

In order to see your web folder you need to add a shortcut from your Linux account to the users web space. This shortcut cannot be made through Cyberduck, so you need to open a Terminal session instead.

1. From the favourites menu, click on the screen icon to begin a Terminal session.

2. At the $ prompt type ssh [username]@linux.ox.ac.uk (i.e. if your username is abcd1234, type ssh abcd1234@linux.ox.ac.uk) and press <Enter>.

4. If you have never done this before, you will see the following message:

   The authenticity of host 'linux.ox.ac.uk (163.1.2.102)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 12:05:75:ee:73:a7:6d:3d:27:f3:fd:32:c7:5d:9b:09. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

   You can verify that this is correct by visiting the Linux security page where the key fingerprints are displayed. Type Yes to continue.
5. Once your password is accepted, you will be greeted by the Linux service welcome information.

6. You now need to send a command to the server telling it to make a shortcut to your user web space. At the $ prompt type makeweblinks and press <Enter>.

8. You have now successfully added a shortcut to your Linux account going to your user web space. If you now type ls you will see a new folder called public_html.
9. Type Logoff and close down the Terminal.
10. On returning to Cyberduck you need to refresh the Linux account folder view. After you have refreshed your folder view, you will see a new shortcut has been added to your folder.
