The assignment is to write a plain text document using Notepad and place it in the folder cbrown\csci1300\lab2 on what should appear to be the network drive "Class on TUCC8". The document should contain "lab 2" on the first line and your name on the second line. The name of the file should be your name (or your name followed by a number if the first attempt(s) don't work correctly; see below).
Note that doing "save as . . . " and saving the file to the folder just mentioned will not work. The reason is that you don't have the appropriate permissions: you can place items in the folder, but cannot modify them once they're there. The "save as" command first puts an empty file there, then tries to change it to include the text you included; the result is that the empty file ends up in the right place, but you aren't allowed to change it in any way, so it stays empty. As many of you have noticed, this means you also can't delete files once they're there! If you've already put one or more empty files there, try it again using the method described below; let the new file name be your name followed by a "2" (or higher number if necessary!). If you've already put an empty file in the folder and want to try again, you must make sure that you give the file a different name for your next attempt.
After creating the file, you will need to first save it on your own drive, and then copy it to the class folder. We discussed several ways to do this in class; the easiest way is probably to have both windows open (the window for the class folder and the window where your original file is located), left-click on the icon for the file, drag it to the class folder, and let the button go. Presto!
If you want to do this from your residence hall: I've learned that you aren't automatically logged onto "Class on TUCC8" when you log onto the network from your room. No problem: go to the "Network Neighborhood" icon and double-click it. From there, double-click on "TUCC8". You should see a bunch of folders, including "Class"; double-click on that and from there proceed as before.
