The below configurations are required. Some settings may require having administrator capabilities. If you do not have that, contact the person in charge of your computer.

Password

In order to be able to use the remote server, it is required to send the password unencrypted. Since this is done only inside our own network this is acceptable.
The easiest way to do this is to download and run the register file (right click, select Save link as...). Double click on the downloaded file and then restart the computer.

Mount a remote disk

To mount a share - a virtual disk - at the department's file server should now be straightforward.

• Klick on Start and select Computer.
• Select Map network drive in the menu.
• In the field Folder write the name of the resource you want to access. These names are as follows:

\\smbhome.it.uu.se\shared

a mapping of the file server's foilder /it/shared, where there are common folders for sub-departments, etc.

\\smbhome.it.uu.se\kurs

a mapping of the course folder, /it/kurs, where a folder per course is present.

\\smbhome.it.uu.se\username

if you replace username with your own UNIX username, you get access to your own folder.

\\smbhome.it.uu.se\web\it

the root folder for the department's web server, www.it.uu.se.

• Enter the desired share, as shown in the image above.
• Mark in the same window Connect using different credentials .
• Select Finish .

• Replace YourUserName in the image above with your username, for example: \joe if joe is your UNIX username. Enter your password.
  • If you are unsure what your username is, contact the system administrators.
• Click OK to connect to the share you selected.
• The share should now be visible in a File Explorer.
