Accessing Portfolios
Space is available to enable you to post your portfolio on the architecture web server.
Architecture has created 5 MB of space for your individual online portfolios. If you already have a
web portfolio, you can link it to your résumé.
Try to keep the filenames of uploaded materials simple and if at all possible avoid spaces in filenames as this will become part of the URL you
share with employers eg. "portfolio.pdf"
After you have uploaded materials they can be accessed
from the following URL: http://www.architecture.uwaterloo.ca/portfolio/user_id/filename.pdf
To connect to our server and post your portfolio requires that you download and install a client program capable of sftp (a network protocol designed to provide secure file transfer and manipulation facilities over SSH) There are many freely available client programs for all computing plaforms. IST provides a Mac and a Windows client free for student use.
Client Setup
- Type the following information into the access panel of your client program or setup a profile with this information for repeated use.
- server name or host or url: arcserv2.uwaterloo.ca
- username: your NEXUS userid (we will use jdoe for the rest of this example)
- password: your NEXUS password
- remote path: /portfolio/jdoe/
- A list your portfolio folder and any files in it will be displayed
Résumé Guidelines
