These instructions are for the GNOME desktop.

Install davfs2, either through your package manager or by building from the source found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dav/files/
Open a Terminal and become root (sudo -i) for the following commands.
Create a mount point for Orca Groups: mkdir /mnt/orca_acadgroups
In a web browser (Firefox) go to https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/acadgroups
Right click on the folder that you want and copy the link.
Type this command into your Teminal:
- mount.davfs -ouid=username,gid=groupname https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/programs /mnt/orca_programs
  replacing the following:
- "username" with your own local username
- "groupname" with your groupname (find out by typing: id -n -g)
- "https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/acadgroups" with the link you copied in step 5.
- and "/mnt/orca_acadgroups" with the directory you created as a mount point in step 3.
You will be prompted for a username and password. These will be your evergreen.edu credentials.
Once this is done, you'll have access to your student share at /mnt/orca_acadgroups!
