Notes

Note 2: Windows: Domain is "Cornell". So your user name will look like:

• Cornell\NetID

n.b. The type of slash matters for all these entries!

You will need to know this when using your personal computer, for example. (A CCB computer set up by ChemIT already knows the domain name.)

Note 3: Make a shortcut of the file share folder you need. Windows: Or, Map a Network Drive (after which you can easily see the total/free/used capacities of the share).

Note 4: Windows: If using Map a Network Drive, we recommend "standardizing" the Group's drive letter to "W:\". This will facilitate talking about this share among research group members.

Please consult the 'How To…' or 'Frequently Asked Questions' on CIT's website for more information:

Note 5: For NMR's share, you need to also add your own folder name to the path, which is usually the PI's last name. For example, in Windows it would look something like:

\\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\NMR\Group

ChemIT's documentation

The Group's file share is accessible from personal computers.

On Windows

\\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\Group

Example:

• \\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\Abruna

When logging into Windows using a personal computer, your username is:

Cornell\NetID

On MacOS

smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/Group using Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and above.

Example:

• smb://files.cornell.edu/AS/CHM/Abruna

Via WebDAV

Note 1: This may not yet be formally supported by, at least as of 12/4/14.

Note 2: This is one way files accessible from a smart phone (iOS, Android, etc.).

============================================

Fun fact 1: The above is for a CIT SFS CIFS share, which is accessible by Windows and Macs.

• With effort, perhaps also accessible from Linux, but unknown issues with permission if also interacting with Macs and Windows. Contact ChemIT for advice, please. The other share type CIT SFS offers is NFS.

Fun fact 2: The "easy" file share paths above are courtesy of the campus Distributed File System (DFS) service.

If the above file share address don't work.

Don't use the following conventions unless you must. Instead, use the conventions shown above. But for older clients which don’t support DFS (such as Mac OS 10.6 and below) your CIFS share may be accessed via a DNS CNAME:

\\as-chm-group.files.cornell.edu\as-chm-group for older Windows

smb://as-chm-group.files.cornell.edu/as-chm-group for OS 10.6 and below
