Using NetDrive to Manage
Files and Publish to the Web
NetDrive is a network-based
file server that provides every student with 100 megabytes and every
faculty/staff member 200 megabytes of storage space. Users access their
"home directory" to store documents, pictures, and other data. NetDrive is
accessible via any web browser, making it an ideal solution for storing
important files for use in a dorm, computer lab, or at home. In addition to
basic file storage, students, faculty, and staff can use their NetDrive home
directory as their personal web page space. Before NetDrive, it was
difficult and awkward for users to author their own web pages. However,
NetDrive makes it easy: just by putting .html and image files into the
public_html folder, anyone can communicate with the world!
Documentation and instructional videos on how to use NetDrive and the
public_html folder can be found at these locations:
