This tutorial is designed to introduce the basic concepts and
skills needed to use the file services at SIMS effectively.
After completing this tutorial, you should be able to navigate
the various SIMS filespaces (e.g., your home directory, the
group directories, etc.). You should be able locate and
manipulate files and directories within these filespaces
from both inside and outside of the SIMS local area network.
Organization
The tutorial is divided into three sections. Within each
section, a concept is introduced, and a set of exercises
is given to help you refine your understanding of the
concept and apply what you've learned. The first section
covers filesystems, the basic structures that computers
use to organize data. The second section discusses file
services typically used on local area networks. The third
section covers methods for transferring files to and from
SIMS filespaces from anywhere on the Internet.
