Titan
The Skirball Institute maintains a fileserver for
the use of non-institute members needing to temporarily store or
submit files to Media Services. Appearing as "Titan" in the
institute's 3rd floor AppleShare zone, and as titan.skb.med.nyu.edu in the
NYUMC internet domain, this server provides a convenient but completely
unprotected staging area for temporary files entering or leaving the
Media Services.
This server is offered as a courtesy only; the Skirball
Institute makes no representations as to the security or privacy of
any images, documents or other files uploaded to it. All files on
this server are subject to immediate removal or alteration without
notice.
Storing Files on Titan
Files may be placed in
Park_Till_5am
for temporary storage using Media Services File Upload, but will be automatically deleted at 5:00am
every morning. Files in makeslides and makefujix
disappear immediately as they are removed for processing.
Moving Files via Titan
An internet drop folder
as well as the more convenient File Upload
service is available to individuals wishing to upload large files (images, presentations,
videos, etc.) to the NYU School of Medicine network. Files uploaded to the campus using
the drop folder will appear in Titan's
Temporary_Presentations
directory.
Submitting Files to makeslides and
makefujix via Titan
Properly named files may be submitted to Titan for
output as 35mm slides or digital photographs.
Although files in EPS, EPSF, TIFF or PPT formats
are preferred, SCRAP and PICT files may also be submitted for output
as 35mm slides.
Remember to use a file name of the form
"lastname.image.color.type" where "lastname" is your last
name; "image" is a short term enabling you to distinguish one file
from another; "color" indicates the background color of the slide
(either "blk" for black, "wht" for white, or "col" for anything else)
and "type" is either"eps", "tif", "scrap", "ppt" or "pict". The
"color" information may be omitted from files placed in makefujix
.
The file names must be less than 27 characters
long, entirely in lowercase and contain no spaces or non-alphabetic
characters such as slashes, colons, parentheses, etc.
Every file must be properly
named, even if contained in a properly named folder.
Your files will DISAPPEAR from makeslides and makefuijx almost
as soon as they arrive! This is normal, and indicates that processing
has begun.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES TO
YOUR FILES OR RENAME THEM ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN UPLOADED, SO NAME THEM
PROPERLY FROM THE START.
Connecting to Titan Via ftp
Files may be sent to Titan (also known as
) using anonymous ftp. This can be accomplished in
four ways:
- Opening an ftp window to
makeslides
or
makefujix
by clicking on these links and simply dragging files into it.
NOTE:
Windows
users MUST use Internet Explorer (version
5.x); Macintosh users MUST use Netscape
(version 4.x).
- Opening an ftp window in a web browser and
selecting the Upload File... item in the File menu of the browser.
- Use an ftp utility such as Fetch or Cute ftp.
- Use Media Services File Upload.
