This page describes how to turning in a project remotely from a Mac laptop.

The overall process consists of two primary steps:

1. Transfer your project files to your home directory on lore
2. Use the command named “turnin” on lore to submit your files for grading

• Open your Terminal application (usually found in Applications/Utilities) and run all of the following commands from your terminal application
• Change directories to the directory which holds your project directory
  • This step requires the cd command in the form of cd <parent directory of your project directory>
  • For example: if my project directory was located on my desktop:

cd ~/Desktop

• Copy all files from your project directory to lore
  • This step requires the scp command in the form scp -r <project directory> <unix username>@lore.cs.purdue.edu:
  • For example: if my project directory was named myproject and my Unix username was jsmith

scp -r myproject jsmith@lore.cs.purdue.edu:

• Use the turnin command to submit your project
  • This step requires the ssh command in the form ssh <unix username>@lore.cs.purdue.edu /usr/local/bin/turnin -c cs177=<section number> -p <project name> <project directory>
  • For example: if my section was 001 and the project was named project1 (this should be listed in the project description) and my username and directory name were the same as before:

ssh jsmith@lore.cs.purdue.edu /usr/local/bin/turnin -c cs177=001 -p project1 myproject

• Optionally, you can verify that your submission was received and check the submission date
  • This step requires the ssh command again in the form ssh <unix username>@lore.cs.purdue.edu /usr/local/bin/turnin -v -c cs177=<section number> -p <project name>
  • For example:

ssh jsmith@lore.cs.purdue.edu /usr/local/bin/turnin -v -c cs177=001 -p project1

Note: If you need to do these steps again, you should rename your project directory (in the examples the project directory was named myproject) so that your latest code gets submitted.

Note: Remember to use the same turnin id as your lab.
