You might have a different user name depending on the length and popularity of your names. You should have gotten an email with your user name and password for your account. If you did not receive one, ask your instructor for assistance

You are now connected to the grail server. From here, it is recommended that you click the folder button “Create new directory” to create a new folder for you class (for organization)

To copy a file from your home computer to the server, simply drag it into the list on the left and it will automatically copy over

Turning the assignment in

Once the file has been copied over, navigate to the directory that you put it in

To navigate, type “cd directory_name” to go into a directory, or “cd ..” to go out of a directory

When you are in the directory with the file you wish to turn in, type the turnin command that your instructor has told you to use. If you are unsure of this command, ask your instructor

You should see a line in the terminal saying “Your files have been submitted to ‘class, homework’ for grading” indicating a successful turnin
