You need a new SCS account! CCS MyCarletonOne accounts are changing that means SCS account names are changing too!

All SCS students that have accounts prior to June 1, 2012.

1. Transition or create your MyCarletonOne account
2. Create a new SCS account: Account Creation

After following those steps you will have two SCS accounts.

SCS will keep both accounts for you. At one point the old 8-character (or less) named account will be de-activated that means you will need to transition your data from your old SCS account to your new SCS account.

If you wish to save any data located on your old account you will need to move this data to the new account.

At SCS we offer a number of accounts and they can be transitioned as follows:

1. Log into your old SCS account
2. Copy files from your Z: to your USB drive and logout
3. Log into your new SCS account
4. Copy files from your USB to the new account

You can copy files from account A to an account B as follows:

1. ssh access.scs.carleton.ca -l accountA
2. scp my_file accountB@access:my_destination

You can handle copying many files as follows:

• use the tar command to archive a directory and then copy the archive over
• or, on a lambda machine you can run gftp and copy files
• or, on a windows machine you can use winscp to backup your files from 'old_account' and then restore them to 'new_account'

If you have an SCS email account we recommend the following:

1. log into your old linux account and save your inbox to a folder
2. setup a .forward from your old account to your new account
3. copy your mail folder to your new account
