[Mac Write]

I am away for the week, and left my computer on as a server as usaul, well I am hear now, and when to connect via AFP like I always do ot my home computer, logged in, and was only presented with my first 3 partions, but not my fourth which is my User folder.

I installed a new HD this week due to near hard drive failure on Tuesday, and this time added a 1 GB swap partition. so now I have Swap Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 and them my user/data partion.

if I SSH in I get in fine. I need those files my job depends on it, and if i can't get them that's it for my job andf work. HELP

A couple of options:
1. Easiest:
Copy your files to a volume that you can reach. Do this by SSHing and typing:
ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/userdisk/path/to/files /
to drop the files right in the main system partition.

Then mount via AFP as before and grab the files.

2. SSH/SCP
Sounds like you're connecting from a Mac during this week away, right?
In that case, just download Fugu, which is a graphical front end to SCP.
This gives you access to your files over SSH, which is secure and easy.

If you can't run Fugu but still have access to a command line, use the text-mode scp command. Basically, at a prompt at the machine, you do this:
scp username@your.machine.net "/path/to/home.file":"/path/to/put/locally"
to copy a file from your home machine to the one you're at.

3. FTP
SSH in, and turn on the FTP server. THen connect from FTP.

4. Web
SSH in, and cd to the folder with files you'll be using this week. Then type
tar -f files.tar -c thefoldername
to make a tarball of the whole folder. Then compress the tarball:
gzip files.tar

Then copy that to your webserver area:
cp /path/to/files.tar.gz /Library/WebServer/Documents/

Then turn on web sharing if it isn't already (sudo apachectl start), and grab the files with a web browser
http://your.machine.net/files.tar.gz

Hope one of those works!

SOLVED!!!!

I rebooted the machine via SSH (WOW that's amazing) killed the apps that auto launch, and my user folder is showing up.

Last night I had test to make sure it was working with someone and they said it had, but I had also rebooted aftert that I think.

Now all is good.

TIP: if you need to connect to your Mac when your away leave SSH on, and if there is a problem ssh into the machine and do sudo reboot.
