If your connecting via Windows 2000,
you can set up your Windows Explorer program to see your files
on Masu as if they exist on your own computer. You will need a
high speed internet connection to make this work well such as
a T1 cable modem, or DSL.
Start by double clicking on My Computer from your desktop
From here, go to the Tools>Map Network Drive pull down option,
which should look like this;
Notice that on the bottom of this window there is a hyperlink
for Creating a shortcut to a Web folder or FTP site. Click on
this hyperlink. This will take you through a wizard for establishing
a link to a web site that should look like this;
So now we need to know the actual address of the folder on Masu
so we can effectively connect to this location. There is a logical
schema to this and it follows this convention.
https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/programs/ - Academic program Shares
https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/programs/students07 - Personal folders
https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/projects/ - ongoing project space
https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/groups/ - various group folders
The first part will always be https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/
followed by the specific directory you want to connect to.
Academic Fileshares on Masu: If you’re a student or faculty
connecting to a program share such as PRG_Calculus (as the folder
would appear if you were in the CAL), then the address would be
https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/programs/PRG_CALCULUS/
Personal Fileshare on Masu: If you are faculty or staff with
a fileshare on masu and your name happens to be Einstein, you
can connect to your personal file share by entering https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/people/einstein.
Project Fileshare on Masu: If you are student, faculty or staff
with a research project fileshare on masu called genome, you can
connect to your personal file share by entering https://calfiles.evergreen.edu/projects/genome.
Once you enter the correct address, you should be prompted enter
a user name and password. Use your normal evergreen login name
and password. Click ok, then click finish to close out of the
wizard. You will be prompted once more for a name and password
as windows opens a new window for this share. Congratulations,
you should now be connected to your fileshare on MASU!
Now if you double-click on my computer, you should see this share
show up under My Network Places, and you can use it just like
this was on your own machine (cept it might be a bit slower)
