Connecting to a Network Share from a PC

In order to connect to a share you need to know the path to it. Network paths in Windows look something like this:

• \\server\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder

For example, the path to your userspace is

• \\campus.pomona.edu\pomona\userspace\student-<year>\<username>

A list of common paths can be found here.

Connecting

Windows XP

1. Go to Start > Run
2. Type in the path, and hit enter

Windows Vista

1. goto Start
2. Type in the path, and hit enter

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.
