[CSC 204] Netdrive and FTP Access

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Students -- several of you have asked me about accessing the computer 
science resources from outside of the CS building.  There is a guide on 
the computer science website

http://blackhawk.cs.mercer.edu/courses/StudentGuide.doc

For those of you with PC's, you will see how to configure a program 
called NetDrive that will allow you to access your Z-Drive from off 
campus.  For the rest of you (Linux and Mac) you can use a program 
called FileZilla.   You should be able to use the same IP address and 
port number as described in the document.

Now, with NetDrive you can technically "edit files" just like you were 
using drive Z in the computer science building.  For the FileZilla 
option you will have to download the files to your local computer, edit 
them, and put them back on the Z drive.

Let me know what problems you run into.
