L-Store Usage Instructions

1. Setting Up Lstore
2. Uploading/Downloading Files
3. Other Applications

Setting Up Lstore

• Copy the lstcp.jar file from the Lstore website.
  • Visit the ACCRE Staff Directory and email Larry Dawson, Santiago de Ledesma, or Kelly McCauley for help.
  • A good reference for setup and examples is Lstore Command Line Client Intro
• Check to see if java v1.6 is in your PATH (if you get this output you're good):

 $ java -version
 java version "1.6.0_01"
 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode, sharing)

• Create a directory for lstore files:

 $ mkdir ~/lstore

• If a lstore_env file exists, edit it to appear this way (with appreopriate shell syntax), or create it:

 $ emacs setup_env
 alias lstcp "java -cp ~/lstore/lstcp.jar org.lstore.client.AutomatedLstcp --login-id lstore_root --password changeme"

• This alias automatically enters the username and password so that lstcp commands can be used in other programs.
• Source the lstore_env file, and the system is prepared to run commands:

 $ source lstore_env

• To set this permanently, add it to your login file (shown here for tcsh):

 $ emacs (or another editor) ~/.cshrc
 add:
 #source the setup file for lstore applications
 source ~/lstore/lstore_env

Proceed to Uploading/Downloading Files
