Access via drive mappingLast revision March 31, 2005 If you know the share name of the directory you want to access on pangea, you can connect directly to it without browsing by "mapping a network drive". Pangea directories accessed this way are visible as a Windows drive letter (for example, G:) in My Computer, and in program Open and Save dialog boxes. You can also configure mapped network drives so Windows automatically connects to them whenever you login to your PC. Mapping a network drive is recommended for regular use of a pangea directory from an on-campus PC. You can access the Map Network Drive command by right-clicking on the My Computer icon. Select a drive letter to use, and type in the network server and share name in this format: \\pangea.stanford.edu\sharename Please note that this syntax uses the Windows backslash character (\), not the normal UNIX slash (/). sharename represents the name of the file share as defined on pangea, as follows. The share containing the home directory of any user is simply the pangea account name for that user. Shares for general use directories are:
When you map a network drive, you also have the option, via a checkbox, to automatically reconnect every time you start your PC and login. After providing the system and share name, you will have to authenticate yourself. Please see the discussion of authentication methods in the page on browsing the network.
