Remote Access to Files on Galileo
-
Windows 95 or Windows NT:
If you use Microsoft Windows95 or WindowsNT, you can arrange to have your directory on Galileo appear as a drive on your local computer. To do this, you must (a) have an account on Galileo and (b) have an account with the same user name on the 'physics' NT domain. If you are using Windows95, you must also be logged in to your computer under the same user name as the one you use on Galileo.To perform the drive mapping, start Windows Explorer and go to "Tools->Map Network Drive". Choose an unused drive letter and map it to:
\\galileo\userid
Where 'userid' is your user name on Galileo. If you like, you can check the box labeled 'Restore connection at next login'. Next, you'll be asked for a password. Enter your password on the 'physics' NT domain (i.e., the password you use for the computers in room 315). Under Windows 95, you can check the box labeled 'Save password in password list' if you like.Your directory on Galileo should now appear as a local drive on your computer. You can use it just as you would use drive C: or drive A:.

From the chooser, select 'File Servers' and 'Physics Zone'. You should see 'Galileo' among the servers in at the right-hand side of the window. Select it, and you'll be asked for a user name and password. Give the user name and password you normally use for logging in to Galileo. Your directory on Galileo should now appear as an item on your desktop. You can use it as you would any local disk drive.
