Off-Campus Access
If you have Mac OS 10.4 or greater you should be able to easily connect from off campus as well.
- On the Finder menu, select Go > Connect to Server.
- Enter the URL of the file server you want to connect to.
- NOTE: It may be easier to first navigate to your folder in a web browser and then copy the url and paste into the connect to server field.
- examples:
- Orca students = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/homes/students
- Orca programs = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/programs/yourprogramfolder
- Hurricane = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/homes/fac-staff/first-letter-of-username/username
- Orca groups = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/acadgroups/yourgroupfolder
- Orca research = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/research/yourresearchfolder
- Note: you can also access this space from a web browser but you will not be able to write files back to the server only read.
- Click Connect
- Log in with your Evergreen account.
- Select the folder you'd like to connect to (e.g. the first letter of your last name, or the name of your program or group).
- Click OK
- A network connection icon is mounted on the desktop.
- Mac OS 10.6 users: the icon may not be mounted on the desktop, instead open a new finder window and locate the server from the "Shared" list of servers
- Once you've connected you can drag and drop files between your local hard drive on the network file space.
- Once you've connected you can drag and drop files between your local hard drive on the network file space.
- Alert: Never work over the network. Copy files down to your local hard drive before opening them.
- To disconnect, drag the network icon to the trash/disconnect icon on the doc.
Note: Your firewall software might block the connection to the remote fileshare. If you can't connect to the filespace and have double-checked the instructions, you might need to add a firewall exemption for the fileshare.
Note: If you still can not connect you might also try following the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1629 .
