Overview
Virtual CAD Room is a shared set of Windows 10 computers (Windows Virtual Desktop) set up similarly to the Windows workstations in the physical CAD Room. Most software available on the CAD Room Windows workstations is also available on the Virtual CAD Room service. If software you normally run from the physical Windows workstations is not yet available, please contact CNF Computing.
...
Unlike the physical CAD room, files stored on the virtual Windows computer will be deleted the next time the virtual computer reboots. Save your files to your W: (AFS) drive, to the lab transfer share (remember files on the lab transfer share will also be auto deleted after a set number of days), to a USB stick, to your local computer, to Cornell BOX, to DropBox, to remote.cnf.cornell.edu with WinSCP, or to another file share to which you have access.
...
Files that were on your Windows desktop or Documents or Videos folders on the physical Windows workstations can be found in your W: drive. Directly under your W: drive you will see a folder called "win_folders" . Under that folder will be AppData, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and more. You can also access your W: drive by connecting to remote.cnf.cornell.edu with WinSCP.
Accessing AFS
Directly
To access AFS directly, you must have AFS "tokens". Look in the system tray for one or more lock icons, probably with red Xs over the lock icons. Mouse over them... the popup for the correct lock icon is the one that says "AFS Client". If you don't see that one, you will instead start the AFS Client from the Start Menu - O - OpenAFS - Authentication. Login to AFS with the long, case sensitive version of your netid/guestid ... eg netid@CIT.CORNELL.EDU or guestid@CORNELL.EDU .
via WinSCP
You can also use WinSCP to login to remote.cnf.cornell.edu with your netid/guestid. And then you can copy files back and forth to AFS.
Accessing Lab Transfer Share
The Lab Transfer share is available as the V: drive. Or you can use WinSCP to login to remote.cnf.cornell.edu with your netid/guestid.
