All assignments for my classes should be submitted digitally via FTP. You'll need to install a free FTP program like Filezilla or FireFTP.
I'll email you the login info and we'll go over it in class.
Our directory is publicFTP/Tara and the subfolder for your course. Example:
(1) I'll create a folder for each of your assignments.
(ex: assignment 1, assignment 2)
(2) Inside the assignment folder please create one folder with your first initial, last name.
(ex: tdonovan)
(3) Inside each subfolder, put your named files.
(ex: tdonovan_walk_cycle_001.ma, tdonovan_hydrant_uvs.png)
Feel free to leave me a note as a .TXT file. Word Files are too slow to launch. Always send me an email regarding any verbal agreement for extensions or modifications to the assignment.
Please be careful with the files in this shared directory. If you accidentally delete someone else's file please let them and me know asap so it can be restored. Always have backups saved in more than one secure location (ex, a portable hard drive as well as saved on a backed-up computer as well as sent to yourself via email or DropBox.)
If you're unfamiliar with using FTP programs and/or you have trouble, please ask for help from the peer tutors. It only takes 5 failed password attempts in 5 minutes to lock yourself out of the server. At school, that means the whole school's IP. Stop after 2 failed attempts and check all the info again. 99% of the FTP problems students have had in the past resulted from typos.
Files can take several minutes or longer to upload especially if the server is busy. Please allow time for uploading and don't wait 'til the last minute to send your files.
If you encounter a big problem, such as our server crashing, please send me a screen grab confirming the error and I'll issue extensions to the whole class.
Assignments cannot be handed in via any other means but FTP without special permission.
Please do not email me your videos or other large files as attachments.
I'll explain other options as needed.
