1. Why am I seeing this page?
This page has been generated automatically by CourseWork. You are seeing this page because a CourseWork web site was recently set up for PHYSICS 23, section 01. Since some courses have Leland web sites in addition to CourseWork web sites, this document serves to explain how to locate Leland hosted web content from previous quarters. CourseWork instructors, TAs, or course admins can replace this page by generating a public homepage via the CourseWork Course Homepage tool. Please see http://www.stanford.edu/group/coursework/docsUser/adminHelp/ch10s08.html for more information.

2. What happened to my Leland web site at http://www.stanford.edu/class/my_class_name?
Content for Leland course web sites and CourseWork web sites is stored in AFS, an online file storage system. When a new request is made for a course web site - either via Leland Services or via CourseWork, a new AFS volume is set up for the course. The path to this AFS volume follows the convention of /afs/ir/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/subjectnumber.term (e.g., /afs/ir/class/archive/cs/cs1/cs1.1046 where 1046 is a PeopleSoft code for Spring 2004).

Content uploaded via CourseWork and content uploaded to a Leland course web site are stored in the same AFS volume but in different areas. Content uploaded via CourseWork is stored in the coursework-restricted folder and content uploaded to a Leland course web site is stored in the WWW folder.
NOTE: although instructors, TAs, and course admins have access to the coursework-restricted folder, please do not move or rename the files in this folder. Links to these files in CourseWork will be broken as a consequence.

Given that the path to a course’s AFS volume is long and difficult to remember, a shortcut path is created at /afs/ir/class/subjectnumber each time a new request is made for a course web site. The WWW directory has the shortcut URL of http://www.stanford.edu/class/subjectnumber (e.g., http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs1). Since this shortcut URL is pointing to current quarter’s content, WWW content from a previous quarter needs to be accessed via the long AFS path.

3. How do I locate the path of my course’s AFS volume?

Course directories that were set up Fall 2001 or later can be accessed via one of the following AFS paths:

• AFS Path: /afs/ir/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/subjectnumber.term
• Example: /afs/ir/class/archive/cs/cs1/cs1.1046 is the AFS location for the Spring 2004 cs 1 course

• WWW content (i.e., index.html) for course is accessible at: http://www.stanford.edu/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/subjectnumber.term
• Example: http://www.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs1/cs1.1046

For course directories set up prior to Fall 2001, the same scheme applies. However, you would need to know what the directory was named.

• AFS Path: /afs/ir/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/coursedir
• Example: /afs/ir/class/archive/cs/cs1/falcon.300

AFS term designation can be determined as follows:

	Academic Term	AFS Term Designation (based on PeopleSoft)
	Fall 2001	1022
	Fall 2002	1032
	Fall 2003	1042
	Fall 2004	1052
	Winter 2002	1024
	Winter 2003	1034
	Winter 2004	1044
	Winter 2005	1054
	Spring 2002	1026
	Spring 2003	1036
	Spring 2004	1046
	Spring 2005	1056
	Summer 2002	1028
	Summer 2003	1038
	Summer 2004	1048
	Summer 2005	1058

4. How do I copy content from a previous course WWW directory to the current course WWW directory?

Via Unix commands:

1. After logging in to Unix, type the following command to navigate to the WWW directory from which you wish to copy content:
   cd /afs/ir/class/archive/subject/subjectnumber/subjectnumber.term
   For example: /afs/ir/class/archive/cs/cs1/cs1.1046 would correspond to the Spring ’04 course directory for cs 1.
2. Type the following command:
   cp -r * /afs/ir/class/subjectnumber/WWW
   For example: cp -r * /afs/ir/class/cs1/WWW. This will copy over all content from the WWW directory of cs 1 (Spring ’04) to the WWW directory of cs 1 (current quarter).

Via AFS Mounting:

• This method allows you to interact with your course’s AFS volume as if it were a local drive on your computer – i.e., you can drag and drop files from one AFS location to another, instead of working at the command line and using Unix commands.
• Please refer to http://www.stanford.edu/services/afs/intro/mounting.html for instructions. Additional information on how to navigate around AFS can be found at http://www.stanford.edu/services/afs/intro/navigating.html.

5. How can I reference WWW content in CourseWork?
If you wish to point to WWW content within your CourseWork site, then please use the permanent URL rather than the shortcut URL, which will point to different content when request for a new course web site is made.

On Step 1 of the Add Content wizard,

1. Select Link to URL
2. Type the full URL of the file's location. Remember to include http:// in the URL.
   (e.g. http://www.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs1.1046/file.pdf)


3. Click Next to continue with the Add Content process.

6. What should I do if I have AFS questions or issues?
AFS is managed by ITSS, Stanford’s central computing group. Therefore, please contact ITSS for questions or assistance related to locating a course directory, obtaining access permissions, or moving course content from one directory to another.
