Accessing your userspace

These instructions have been moved to the ITS Knowledge Base [http://helpdesk.pomona.edu].
You will be redirected in a moment.






















You can access your userspace one of three ways. All of them allow you to add/move/remove files.

You want to connect to the following network share:

Windows:   \\campus.pomona.edu\pomona\userspace\student-<year>\<username>
OS X (Mac):   smb://fargo.pomona.edu/Students/<year>/<username>
Where <year> is the year you arrived at Pomona (e.g. 2006) and <username> is your Pomona username (e.g. ces02006).

How to connect to a network share:

If you're connecting to an official ITS server (e.g. tempdisk, your userspace), log in with CAMPUS\ + your username and password.

An explorer window should appear. Use it as you would My Computer. You can drag/drop (and copy/paste) files to and from this place just as if it were any other folder on your computer. The connection closes when you close the window.

If you don't want to have to log in every time you connect to an ITS share, you can save your username and password.

Mac OS XMac OS X

  1. Click on Finder (the smiling face) on your dock and select Go > Connect to Server... (alternatly, hit Apple + K).

The share should appear on the upper-left corner of your Finder windows (see picture below). You can drag/drop (and copy/paste) files to and from this place just as if it were any other folder on your computer. The connection closes when you click the small eject icon to the right of the share name:

Other methods

tip If you're using one of the machines in the computer labs, your userspace is already mounted on the H: drive. In addition, anything saved to My Documents, My Pictures, your desktop, etc. will automatically be saved into your userspace.

tip If you're going to be using your userspace a lot, you can mount it as a network drive instead (Windows users only).
