The campus IT department provides networked file storage using file servers; powerful computers that provide services to many people simultaneously. Saving files on the file server provides two primary benefits: flexible access and protection against mechanical and other massive failures. Folders on the file servers are available from any computer on campus, as well as from computers that are off campus with an Internet connection. Files stored on the file servers are protected against loss by routinely coping files to a different server located in a different area.
Individual
Each user is provided a personal network folder on a file server for storing files. This network folder is usually mapped to drive letter Z for convenience and is commonly referred to as the Z drive. This storage spaced is intended to be used for campus-related files and is backed up routinely to protect files from loss due to equipment failure. The folder is accessible to the individual user only and cannot be shared. The size of the folder for students is 25MB, unless special arrangements are made. Office, classroom, and lab computers are configured so the "My Documents" icon points to the user�s personal network folder (Z drive). Information on getting to this storage from off campus is located on this page.
Wireless Laptop computers are configured differently than the wired computers on campus. As this will be your own personal computer, it will not be part of our network, and your Z Drive will not be accessible. To access your files follow the guide in this guide
