L-Store Usage Instructions - Uploading/Downloading Files

1. Setting Up Lstore
2. Uploading/Downloading Files
3. Other Applications

Uploading Files

• If not set permanently, begin by sourcing the setup environment:

 $ source setup_env

• Upload file using the lstcp command (form, then an example):

 $ lstcp filepath/filename server_name:/home/username/filepath/filename
 $ lstcp ~/lstore/tests/upload2 testmeta1.reddnet.org:/home/<username>/

• When asked for the password, use the general system password "changeme" (password for lstore_root, which was set as the login-id in setup_env) which is in effect until individual user security systems are created. You should only have to do this once per session.
• When uploading (or downloading), you can specify a new name for the file at the end of the filepath. If you are trying to place the uploaded file in a new directory, use the --mkdir option outlined in Other Applications
• Output: (the warnings may or may not appear, and can be ignored)

 log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (root).
 log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
 Copying from /home/<username>/lstore/tests/upload2 to <username>@testmeta1.reddnet.org:2702/home/<username>/upload2

Downloading Files

• Again, begin by sourcing the setup environment as above.
• Download file using the lstcp command (form, then an example):

 $ lstcp lstore_server_name:/home/username/filepath/filename filepath/filename
 $ lstcp testmeta1.reddnet.org:/home/<username>/upload2 ~/lstore/tests/download2

• Output: (again the warnings can be ignored if they appear)

 log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (root).
 log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
 Copying from managaje@testmeta1.reddnet.org:2702/home/managaje/upload2 to /home/managaje/lstore/tests/download2
 .

• The file should now appear in the download directory:

 $ ls 
 download2  upload2
