Publishing data sets via FTP
|
|
This part of our FTP service is deprecated in favor of the UMIACS Object Store. Please see OBJbox. |
Users can place data to be externally accessible in their public FTP space, which is located from the FTP service as
ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username>/
To upload data to your public site, you can upload data to,
- /fs/ftp/pub/<username> from supported unix machines
- \\fluidfs.pc.umiacs.umd.edu\ftp-umiacs\pub\<username> - from supported windows machines
Effects of tmpwatch
There is a configuration of tmpwatch[1] in place on our FTP service that will remove any files, regardless of owner or permissions, from any /fs/ftp/incoming/ directory that have not been accessed in 30 days.
