Webspace

For those of you who don't know, SFU gives all students 1GB of webspace on an ftp server. (Not a lot, I know.)

I'm taking 2 IAT classes and I remember my prof saying that everyone enrolled in an IAT class gets 2GBs of space... I'm guessing no matter how many IAT classes you take, it'll still be 2GB.

I've heard of some people having 3GBs... how?

My question is, when the semester ends and I am no longer taking any IAT classes, am I only left with 1GB of space again?

How do you check how much space you have/used/left?

Oh, and when I graduate will the webspace be gone? ='( On that note, will my sfu email stop working?! T_T

Thanks =]

    the space limit is just the size of your H drive on your school account. (so, login at school and look at the properties of said drive for usage stats)

    some courses give you a separate place to upload your files, and that's not tied into your normal webspace, which is just a folder in your H drive.

    I'm not asking about that... I'm taking about the ftp server. You get your own little website like this: http://www.sfu.ca/~yoursfuid

    It has nothing to do with the computers at SFU, you can access it over the internet.

    Most FTP programs should tell you how much space you have left. Are you a SIAT major? If so, you might be able to keep it.

    it's just a folder in your H drive, you can access the whole thing via FTP. There's no quota on the folder, the 1gb limit comes from the size limit of the drive itself.

    Really? Do you know where to find it in FileZilla?

    No, I'm not an IAT major ='( Does that mean it's gone when I'm not going to take any IAT classes?
