Accessing Your Data on the Network Drive

If you saved your CD, fluorometer or calorimeter data on the network J: drive, you can access it from a remote computer as follows.

From a Windows machine:

  • Right click ‘Start’ and then click ‘Run’
  • Type \\ces.it.vanderbilt.edu\csbsharedinstr
  • Click ‘OK’
  • It should prompt you to sign in. Type VANDERBILT\yourVUnetID
  • Enter your e-password.
  • Double click on the Data folder.
  • You should see folders for the CD, DSC, Fluoromax and ITC.

From a Mac:

  • From the Finder menu, click ‘Go’ and then click ‘Connect to Server’
  • It should prompt you for the Server Address. Type smb://ces.it.vanderbilt.edu/csbsharedinstr
  • Click ‘Connect’
  • It should prompt you for your VUnetID and e-password.
  • Double click on the Data folder.
  • You should see folders for the CD, DSC, Fluoromax and ITC.

From a Linux machine:

  • The easiest way to access it is through the file manager in Gnome:
  • Click ‘Places’ and then click ‘Connect to Server’
  • server: ces.it.vanderbilt.edu
  • share: csbsharedinstr
  • user: yourVUnetID
  • domain: VANDERBILT
  • Click ‘Connect’
  • A window with the contents of your linux home dir may popup, but just close the popup and then click on the new icon for the share on the desktop. It will ask you for your e-password.

 

  • If you’re using KDE, then just use the file browser (konqueror or dolphin, e.g. with KDE v4+):
  • Go to \\ces.it.vanderbilt.edu\csbsharedinstr
  • Type VANDERBILT\yourVUnetID
  • Enter your e-password.

 

  • It’s also possible to mount the share into the filesystem for access via a linux terminal. For more information, see: Computational Resource TWiki page and adapt to the server and share above.
