FTP-server for big and binary files#
To keep our websites small and efficient, we’re using a TU-Delft provided FTP-server to host all big (>0.5 MB) and binary files (e.g. .JPEG, .zip). Furthermore, this allows us to share single assignments files without attachments.
To access the FTP-server, you must be connected to the TU Delft network or use a VPN
Add this FTP-server by following steps 6-18 as shown here for Windows or these steps for Mac. The server is ftp://files.mude.citg.tudelft.nl and the username files.mude. Tom van Woudenberg can give you the password.
Add your big and binary files in the ./httpdocs/-directory. Don’t be afraid of things becoming a mess, that’s fine! As long as you don’t overwrite existing files ;). And of course, DON’t put any copyrighted material on this FTP server.
To use a file, you can use the url https://files.mude.citg.tudelft.nl/<filename>. For example the file MUDE_NoTextVector.svg in ./httpdocs/ can be referenced by with https://files.mude.citg.tudelft.nl/MUDE_NoTextVector.svg, which gives you the image below:
Figures can be referenced in any markdown text using the normal syntax for a figure:
