Passing off your assignment(s)

To pass of your assignment(s), upload your executable program via anonymous ftp to axon.cs.byu.edu (or hut.cs.byu.edu) in the directory

  • pub/470/upload/assignment_name/bin

    Use the following convention in naming your program: Lastname followed by first initial (you should also follow this with a number to distinguish it from any pervious uploads you may have done). For example, if your name is Tim Andersen you would call your program andersent.

    Upload a tar'ed version of your executable program and source code to the directory pub/470/upload/assignment_name/src

    tar -cvf tarfile sourcefiles

    Use the same naming convention but with a .tar extension.

    Your assignment must be compiled and ready to run on the CS Dept. HP workstations

    REMEMBER TO TRANSFER YOUR FILES IN BINARY!!!

    It is also highly recommended that AFTER you upload your program you immediately download it back to the machine you're on and make sure it works correctly. If it didn't get uploaded correctly or for whatever reason doesn't work YOU WILL BE PENALIZED.

    After you have done this, email me at tim@axon.cs.byu.edu with the names of the files and any other pertinent information, such as program writeup. The program writeup should be sent as plain text. Please try not to use any attatchments.

    The items in pub/470/upload/assignment_name/bin will be visible, so that you can download other peoples executable checkers programs and test them against your own if you wish. Since it is visible, DO NOT put your source code into this directory. I don't want people cheating by using other peoples source code.

    Please send e-mail to tim@axon.cs.byu.edu
