Setting Up AFS Access
All the directories and files in the SULAIR Web space are stored
in Stanford's
AFS disk storage space.
This document, which assumes you are using Dreamweaver MX 2004,
explains how to map the main SULAIR AFS Web directory to a drive
on your computer so you can transfer files between your local system
and the SULAIR Web space. The SULAIR Web space consists of a "stage"
server and a production server. You check out files to update,
and preview new/changed files on the stage server (http://library-stage.stanford.edu/) before
moving them to SULAIR's production server (http://library.stanford.edu/).
What You Will Need on Your Computer
This method of transferring files requires:
Be sure to read the Notes about system requirements
and installation procedures before you install the software. You
may need to update your system to meet the minimum requirements.
You can check with your Expert Partner if you need assistance.
Mapping an AFS Drive
Once you've installed the required versions of Stanford Desktop
Tools and Stanford OpenAFS on your computer, follow this procedure
to make the SULAIR AFS directory hierarchy available on your system:
- Log in to Stanford Desktop Tools if you are not already logged
in.
- Click on the Start button in the Windows Task
Bar and then click on Control Panel to
open the Control Panel window. (In Windows 2000, you have to
choose Settings/Control
Panel to open the Control Panel window.)
- Double-click the AFS Client Configuration icon
to open the configuration dialog box.
- In the General tab,
enter
ir.stanford.edu in the Cell
Name box and check
Obtain AFS tokens when logging on to
Windows, if it
is not already checked.
- Click the Drive Letters tab.
- Click the Add... button, which appears at
the bottom of the Drive Letters window, to open the Map Drive
Letter dialog box.
- Enter the following string in the AFS Path
box: \afs\ir\dept\SUL\WWW\library\stage
Note that this string uses backslashes.
Windows automatically selects the next available drive letter
for you, and you may want to change this letter to avoid problems
with some portable storage devices. The example shows Drive
H:,
but you might use some other letter later in the alphabet (e.g., Drive X:).
- In the Submount box, enter sulair_web.
- Check Restore this mapping whenever I log on to
make sure the drive is always mapped the same way.
- Click the OK button. You should see the drive
you mapped listed and checked in the Drive
Letters
box.
- Click the OK button to close the AFS Client
Configuration dialog box.
To see if everything is set up correctly:
- Restart your computer. If Stanford Desktop Tools does not start automatically,
you should launch it by clicking the Windows Start button
and navigating to All Programs> Stanford> Desktop Tools> Stanford
Desktop Tools.
- Double-click the My Computer icon on your Windows
desktop.
You should see an entry for a Network Drive with a label that
includes
on 'afs'.
- Double-click the AFS drive entry.
You should see the directories and files in the "stage" directory hierarchy on the AFS server.
Note: You will not need to check this each time.
Simply make sure Stanford Desktop Tools has been started
before entering Dreamweaver. It may take a minute or so
after you log in until the drive becomes available. If you see
an error message, wait a couple of minutes and try again.
Setting Up Your Dreamweaver Site
- If this is your first time setting up a Dreamweaver site, go
to Setting
Up Your Dreamweaver Site.
- If you've already set up your Dreamweaver site,
simply make the following changes in Dreamweaver:
- In the Site menu select Manage
Sites.
- Select sulair_web from your list of sites
and click on Edit....
- The Site Definition dialog box appears. In the Category list
on the left, click on Remote
Info.
- In the Remote Info dialog box enter:
- Access: Select Local/Network from
the dropdown menu.
- Remote Folder: Enter the drive letter you
have set up for AFS access, followed by a colon, followed
by a backslash. The example below shows H:\, but yours
may be a different letter.
- Refresh remote file list automatically: Leave
this option checked.
- Check Enable file Check In and Check
Out.
Then type your full name (first and
last) in the Check out
name: field and type your email address in the Email
address: field.
- Leave Check out files when opening unchecked.
- Click on OK to close the window.
