Pomona Userspace

As a Pomona student you can store up to 1 GB of data on the Pomona servers. This data can be...well, pretty much whatever you want it to be, although it makes a really great place to back up your data to (hint, hint).

Web hosting is available through the My Webs folder.

FAQs

Accessing your userspace

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).

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.

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).
