OK, using Emacs through a Telnet window is not the easiest thing in the world. As a result, it might be easier for those working at home to write the code locally on some text editor, and then FTP the file to school to get it to compile.

You can get a great copy of WS_FTP (a very easy to use GUI based FTP program) for free on your Penn Net CD. If you don't have a Penn Net CD, you can get one from free at the CETS office. Just install and run - it's pretty self explanatory.

For those who feel more adventurous, you can find a command prompt based version of FTP on your PC (I'm not certain of the Mac, but it must be there too). To use this version, you would:

1) Save the file to your hard drive.

2) Open your FTP software

3) At the FTP prompt, type: open seas.upenn.edu

4) Enter your user name and password

5) Change to the appropriate directory on your seas account. Example: cd cse110/hwk2

6) Send the files from your hard drive to your seas account using the mput command. For example, to put c:\hwk2\prob1.c from your hard drive to your seas account you would type:

mput c:\hwk2\prob1.c

The program will ask you for confirmation before transferring. BE CAREFUL. It will OVERWRITE any other files with the same name. (In case your curious, you can get files FROM your seas account with an mget command)

7) To exit the FTP program, type quit. It will close automatically

A sample run of my FTP session can be found below. Hope this helps J
