Need help with a homework assignment :(

Edit: ok i realized i should have been searching for telnet help guides and not unix. I still dont understand how to create this shell though. At least i can change directories and figure some stuff out searching for telnet commands. Sorry to be so dumb

Alright i am in a computer 100 class, supposed to be really easy but i know NOTHING about unix. The level of programming required in this class is extremelly easy so i am sure the solution to this is simple as hell but i have been trying to research it online for 3 hours and still cant figure it out. The assignment is online at

http://www.cs.uic.edu/~super/CS101/LAB6/cs101Lab6.html

It wants me to write a Bourne shell script that will automatically create an HTML file. Sounds easy but i have no idea about unix and it seems so outdated i dont understand why we are learning it now.

So how do i take a html file that i created on my pc and send it through telnet to this public_html directory? I am using a program called SSH Secure Shell to work in the unix enviorment from my home computer. I understand how to make the directory but i dont know how to upload a file from my pc to this directory.

My proffesor says he did the assignment with a mere 15 lines of code. I hate to beg and i know it is prolly a hilarious question since it is prolly like childs play for anyone on these boards but I am lost. Guess i was wrong to enroll in a computer programming class Any help/advice would be really appreciate.

ftp is probably turned off on your server if you are required to login using SSH. ftp is a more or less standard way to move files between computers in the unix world, and PC world as well.

You need to use use sftp - a clone of ftp that works under secure shell.

Go here:

download the psftp.exe binary for your PC. It will connect either as ftp or sftp.

Why not follow the instuctions in that link you posted?

thanks

He did wait until the last minute, Perderabo, that's why he came here.
