Instructions for getting started as a Prospero user
|
|
|
|
Find the directory in which the Prospero binaries are installed.
|
|
|
|
Source the file vfsetup.source in this directory. You may want to
|
|
source this file from your .cshrc.
|
|
|
|
To configure your virtual system, use the vfsetup alias (it is defined
|
|
by vfsetup.source). Specify the name of the virtual system to be
|
|
configured as an argument. If you are just playing around, use the
|
|
virtual system: guest. The command would be "vfsetup guest".
|
|
|
|
Use vcd and vwd to move around the virtual system, and vls to see what
|
|
is there. These commands will allow you to explore. Since you may
|
|
start from an empty subdirectory, be sure to look above (..), or in
|
|
the root directory (/). A quick summary of the commands that are
|
|
available follows.
|
|
|
|
vfsetup [-n host path , [-r,v] name , -f file]
|
|
Sets up virtual system
|
|
Example: vfsetup guest
|
|
|
|
vcd [-u] path
|
|
Change directory
|
|
Example: vcd /papers/subjects/naming/prospero
|
|
|
|
vwd
|
|
Print current virtual working directory
|
|
|
|
vls [-a, -A, -c, -f, -u, -v] [path]
|
|
List directory
|
|
Example: vls /
|
|
|
|
vln [-u] [-s] [-e] [-n host] oldname newname
|
|
Add a link
|
|
Example: vln /papers /guest/articles
|
|
|
|
vmkdir directory
|
|
Make a new virtual directory
|
|
|
|
vrm link
|
|
Remove a link
|
|
|
|
vget virtual-file [local-file]
|
|
Retrieve a file using anonymous FTP
|
|
Example: vget getting-started.txt these-instructions
|
|
|
|
To have your own virtual system created, send a message to
|
|
pfs-administrator@isi.edu. With your own virtual system, you will be
|
|
able to keep track of the files that you have found. More details on
|
|
the use of Prospero may be found in the Prospero users manual.
|
|
|
|
The information available through Prospero is growing. If you can't
|
|
find what you are looking for initially, it might appear at a later
|
|
date. You can help by adding information. Once you have organized
|
|
information in your own virtual system, send a message to
|
|
pfs-administrator to have it added to the prototype virtual system.
