anyone know how to use iweb to go right onto my ncsu webspace?

I don't think you can publish it directly to your NCSU space, only .Mac

The only option I know of is to publish it to a folder, and upload that folder using a FTP application.

Edit: I just saw this hint at MacOSXHints (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060817122512500&query=iweb)

Edit #2: Since you are on a Mac, and since NCSU loves SSH, why not use a simple rsync command to synchronize changes in your ~/Sites folder to whatever folder you want on the NCSU servers?

rsync -avc Sites/mysite/ username@unity.ncsu.edu:/path/to/my/www/folder

Edit #3: I remember NCSU used to have the remote access program (Wolfcall?) that would let you hook your K drive directly to your computer. Maybe there is a similar solution on OSX (WebDAV)? You could mount your NCSU folder directly to your computer, and publish directly to it through that.

wolfcall is correct...but i think it's only for windows machines

They don't use AFS anymore???

I used to be able to mount my K drive directly from my mac using something...
OpenAFS if I remember correctly.

Of all of the above listed suggestions, publishing to your local account on your Mac, then FTP'ing in, is the best choice.

Yes, we do still use AFS for file space. OpenAFS is used to access everything if you're an end-user. WolfCall provides a wrapper, effectively, for gaining access and credentials to your AFS space in Windows.

Mac users have it a bit more complicated, since OpenAFS development tends to lag behind a bit. Not much we can do about that, since it's not something that NCSU maintains. If you're using Mac OS X 10.3, instructions and downloads are available here: http://www.ncsu.edu/cc/essentials/managing_files/openafs_for_mac/2_openafs.html. Laptop users are out of luck for now, as are 10.4 users.

Just use FTP. It's not that hard. You can mount an FTP server in OS X and use it like a disc without any additional software.

Fetch is your friend.

I like Fetch, but I liked it better when it was freeware.

Transmit is the best, and well worth $18, if you don't find a crack code
