The Case Study and Capstone teams are assigned team data shares to store all their data files. Data files are not to be committed to your shared repository.

Instructions:

1.      Open a terminal on Jupyter.

2.      Although files can be moved directly from the Jupyter terminal, we recommend that you ssh into our lz server to move files. Sometimes there is a permissions issue if you do it directly from your Jupyter server.

ssh yourpawprint@lz.dsa.missouri.edu

Then enter your password when prompted. It will not display at all – just press enter when you are done.

3.      It is easiest to use absolute paths, with ~ representing your home directory. Here is the basic copy command.

cp ~/<path to file on Jupyter> /dsa/groups/<path to group folder>

Below is an example. Someone from the spring 2023 on-campus cohort Team01 is uploading a datafile named ACS20200.csv from their TeamArtifacts/Spin_5_Artifacts/ folder in their group repository. They are placing it in a nested folder redlining-data/ACS/ on their team data share. Follow the pattern to get the correct path on both ends of the transfer. Be careful of typos – most problems are from not getting the path right or typos (which amounts to the same thing.)

cp ~/sp23Capstone_02/TeamArtifacts/Spin_5_Artifacts/ACS20200.csv /dsa/groups/capstonesp2023/campus/Team01/redlining-data/ACS/

4.      Check that the permissions on your file are correct, so that your teammates can access the data.

ls -la <path_to_file on data share>

For our example:

ls -la /dsa/groups/capstonesp2023/campus/Team01/redlining-data/ACS/ACS20200.csv

Your output for this will look something like this:

-rw-r--r--. 1 pawprint pawprint 27810 Mar 11 15:27 /dsa/groups/capstonesp2023/campus/Team01/redlining-data/ACS/ ACS20200.csv

For the characters at the beginning of the line, it could read rwxrwxrwx with hyphens replacing missing permissions. If there is an r in the middle group of characters your teammates will be able to read the file.
