When you are logged into a computer at the U of M you are given your own personal "home" folder for you to save files in.
On Windows you may recognize this folder as your "H:\drive", or on unix this folder is plainly known as your "home directory".
Your home folders can be accessed over the Internet in a variety of ways. See the table below for information:
| System | Method |
|
• Netstorage ( INS / CNS ) -- Usage Instructions |
|
|
• FTP |
| Which Should I use? | |
| Netstorage is the easiest to use. It's accessible from your Web Browser and doesn't require any kind of setup. | |
| Better than netstorage for users transfering multiple file regularly, however requires an FTP Client such as FillZilla. | |
| Easily access your UNIX home folder as if it were a drive on your computer. | |
| Access your UNIX home folder or Novell network drives as if it were drives on your computer using SMB (Windows Networking) | |
