The Idea

• Students and Staff are now able to create login
  accounts on the student network.
  
• This will enable
• Your own private home drive (h).  No more
  worries about others seeing or modifying (or
  deleting!) your documents on the "S" drive.
  
• You can save items on the desktop, such as
  documents and web links, and they will appear on
  any computer you log onto.
  
• You can access your home drive from the wireless
  network, and from home via FTP.
  
• Your Home drive will not be deleted every term,
  unlike the "S" drive.  Your H drive will only be
  deleted after you have not logged in/ not
  registered for 6 months, so you don't have to
  worry about missing a term and having things
  deleted.

Enabled Features Continued

• You have 256MB of storage on your Home Drive. 
  The server will email you if it starts getting
  full!
  
• You can connect to the wireless network with your
  student login account username and password.
  
• In the future, you will be required to have a
  login account to use the wireless network.
  
• Your username and password will be the same as
  the ones you use to log into the KCC web site. 
  If you change your password on the website, it
  will automatically be updated on the student
  network.

FAQ

• How can I access my H drive from the wireless
  network?
  
• You can right click on the desktop, select new
  and then shortcut. For the location, enter
  \\minerva.student.klamathcc.edu\homes\John_Doe
  (replacing john_doe with your username!) and
  press next. If you are prompted for a user name
  and password, enter your account information. You
  will need to have activated your account first,
  please see slide 9.
• Tip this is especially handy if you need to
  print a document!
  
• How can I access my H drive from off campus?
• The files can be accessed by any FTP client using
  the address of homes.klamathcc.edu, and your
  username and password. For a web browser, you can
  connect by typing ftp//john_doe_at_homes.klamathcc.e
  du (replacing with your user name). It will then
  prompt for your password.

FAQ

• How long will my account stay active?
• Your account and files will be deleted
  automatically after you have not logged into the
  student computers for 6 months. Please note that
  you will need to login to a computer in the LRC
  or labs at least once every 6 months to keep your
  account active. Logging into the wireless will
  not keep your account active.
• Why do you require my email address to create an
  account?
  
• The server will email you an alert if your H
  drive is getting full.
  
• What can I store on my H drive?
• You may store anything that does not violate our
  acceptable use policy.

13
FAQ

• How can I recover my files if they get deleted or
  changed?
  
• If the file was changed or corrupted somehow, you
  can right click on the file, select properties,
  then the previous versions tab. Select a date
  and time from the past, and click restore. If
  the file was deleted, create a file with the
  exact same filename. Then, follow the previous
  steps. The length of time that it will allow you
  to go back will vary. Please note that Klamath
  Community College cannot guarantee that your
  files are backed up. It is still your
  responsibility to back up your own files. The
  previous versions feature does not guard against
  equipment failure!
• Does my Desktop "Travel" with me?
• Yes, items saved to your desktop while logged in
  will automatically be saved into the directory
  H\desktop and appear on the desktop of any other
  computer you log onto. This is handy for creating
  your own "shortcuts" as well as links to web
  pages you commonly use, or files.
