<p>When using Windows please, please be <a href="http://expo.survex.com/handbook/survey/getin.htm#filenames">excessively careful when naming files and survex names</a> and be <a href="manual.html#quickstart">exceptionally careful when using rsync</a>.
<p>The handbook has documents where it is necessary to use scp or sftp to manage large files in 'expofiles'.
See <a href="../upload-expert.html">Experts: Uploading files</a>,
<a href="../uploading.html">Uploading files</a> and <a href="../gpxupload.html">Uploading GPS tracks</a>.
Only machines which have done the key-pair setup process can do scp, sftp or rsync.

<h4>Cheap hack for Linux</h4>
<p>On a Linux machine, it will not be necessary once you have everything set-up correctly, but
a useful initial short-cut is to create 'mimic' symbolic links to directories to match those on the
server and the <em>expo laptop</em>.
(You should not rely on these as other people will have set up their machines differently.)
So, assuming that your machine has
no user <var>expo</var>:<pre><code>cd /home
sudo mkdir expo
cd expo
sudo ln -s /mnt/f/expofiles expofiles
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/expoweb expoweb
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/troggle troggle
sudo ln -s /mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/loser loser
ls -tlA
</code></pre>
where obviously you will be using your own locations for expofiles, expoweb, loser etc. instead of <var>/mnt/d/CUCC...</var> etc. This creates valid directory paths for, e.g. <var>/home/expo/loser</var> etc.
