How do I connect to a network drive or file share?
Connecting to Linux File Servers from a Linux Computer
Using SCPSCP is ideal for quick transfer of single files and directories. Syntax is similar to the Unix copy command.
For Connecting to your EWS Home Directory, you can type something like this:
scp NetID@linux.ews.illinois.edu:/home/NetID/example.txt /home/localusername/ewsbackup/
If you need to copy an entire directory, you'll need to use the recursive flag, like this:
scp -r NetID@linux.ews.illinois.edu:/home/NetID/thisdirectory /home/localusername/ewsbackup/
Connecting to Linux File Servers from Mac OSX
For connecting to your Linux Home directories from a Mac OSX please use fugu, which is available for free.Connecting to Linux File Servers from a Windows Computer
For connecting to your Linux directories from Windows please use WinSCP, which is available for free.After installing WinSCP you will get the following dialog (WinSCP is installed in the windows labs by default):
After logging into the system you will get the following interface.

Many resources are stored on network file shares for collaboration, security, and data protection reasons. It's possible to connect to these network resources from most common operating systems both on and off campus.
If connecting to a network file share on campus, the wired network and IllinoisNet wireless will provide the network security requirements for establishing the connection. If using UIUCNet or an off-campus internet connection, a Technology Services VPN connection is required before the network file share can be mapped.

- Click Finish.
4. A Windows Security box will ask for login information for the network file share.
- For most College of Engineering resources, you will use: UOFI\YourNetID as the username, where "YourNetID" is the NetID you use for logging in to other campus resources. The password will be your UOFI Active Directory password. (These will be the same credentials you use to log into your UOFI Exchange Email account if you have one.)
