     67Log into the [wiki:"Shell service"] then your change directory based on your project UNIX name (Example project named "fooproject"): 
     68

     90= Migration from package/release system = 
    8391 
    84 Log into the [wiki:"Shell service"] then your change directory based on your project UNIX name (Example project named "fooproject"): 
     92For projects that had releases available for download at the time of the change to the File Manager facility (July 2009), those files were migrated to logical folders. This is based upon the package & release names.

    86 {{{ 
    87 cd /home/frs/project/f/fo/fooproject 
    88 }}} 
     94In addition to the folders created for migrated package and releases, an "!OldFiles" folder was also created which contains files that were previously hidden. The "!OldFiles" folder is not visible to users downloading files from your project. If you wish to make a file visible, simply move it to a different folder.
