Transfer Files Via J Drive

To access the J Drive on your Windows machine:

(It should be automaticaly mounted on any department or CAEDM lab computer)

  • Windows 7: Right click “My Computer” and select “Map Network Drive…”. (Windows 10: open file explorer, click on “This PC” on the left, click on “Computer” on the top menu, and then click “Map Network Drive”)
  • Select j: as the drive in the “Drive” box.
  • Type in the “Folder” box \\fs-caedm.et.byu.edu\YOURCAEDMUSERNAME
  • Select “Connect using a different user name”.
  • Enter “CAEDM_AD\” and then your CAEDM user name and password. For example: “CAEDM_AD\engineer1” (without the quotes)
  • Click “OK” and then “Finished”.

To transfer files from the J Drive to the Heidelberg VM:

  • Click on the “Connect to J Drive.desktop” file on the desktop. This will start a script.
  • Input your CAEDM username and password when prompted​. You should now be connected to the J Drive in the command prompt. (You will see a bash prompt that looks like 'smb: \>')
    • Use “ls” to view the contents of the current folder.
    • Use “cd <folder>” to navigate to a directory (or “cd ..” to go back 1 directory)​ Folder names with spaces need to be enclosed in quotes. Example: cd My Documents —> cd “My Documents”
    • Use “help” for a list of all possible commands
    • ​Use “get <filename>” to transfer any files you may have. The file will be placed in the directory /home/convert/<yourCAEDMusername>. If that folder does not exist, it will be created.
    • To recursively download, use the following commands:
      • recurse (turns on recursion, typing it again will disable it)
      • prompt (turns off the prompt for induvidual file copies, typing it again will enable prompts)
      • cd path\to\folder
      • mget *
      • The folder will be moved to /home/convert/yourCAEDMusername
    • ​Close the window to close the connection​
    • Click on the File Cabinet Icon on the bottom dock of the desktop.
    • In the navigation window towards the top, type in /home/convert/<yourCAEDMusername> to view your files.

To UPLOAD to the J drive

  • For a single file, use “put file/path/from/VM \desitnation\file\path” without the quotes
  • To recursively upload a folder, type in the following commands, one at a time:
    • recurse
    • prompt
    • lcd /source/folder/path (For example: lcd /home/convert/tjs91)
    • cd \navigate\to\destination\folder (For example: cd “My Documents\uploads”)​
    • mput *
