There are various ways to access AFS Unix file servers at SLAC.

• OpenAFS client for Windows

• WinSCP (more info)

• Anonymous FTP

• Frontpage or web authoring software via Authenticated FTP or TransArc

• Samba 
  (for read/write for NFS space, SLAC/read for AFS space)

• X Window

To save Frontpage web pages via FTP to AFS Unix web space

If FrontPage is used (or any other WYSIWYG web designing tool), files need to be moved from the user NT machine to AFS Unix file space.  FrontPage has a built in FTP client that accomplishes this process.

The user can FTP to

ftp-slac.slac.stanford.edu

and supply his/her AFS username/password (check whether the user has an AFS account), then the account should have write access to AFS directories that the token allows.

The ftp "client" (FrontPage in this case) doesn't need any other support to do this.  It is at the ftp-slac.slac.stanford.edu  machine that the access is controlled.  However, if they tell FrontPage to use ftp.slac.stanford.edu, then they can't get write access, because ftp.slac.stanford.edu is not set up to work with AFS.

For detailed and illustrated instructions on publishing from FrontPage2000 to Unix using FTP or TransArc, see http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/techpubs/FP2000/publishing.html. For feedback or questions about FrontPage to Unix publishing, contact mcdunn@slac.stanford.edu.
