File Access
Saving Files
To make sure your files are accessible, you need to store them on the H: drive (your network drive). Your network drive can be accessed on both Windows and Linux platforms.
When you logon to a computer in the SEAS/CEC domain your network drive (H:\) will be mounted automatically for you.
There are two methods to access you files remotely. You can use a SSH Client to access your network drive with a terminal interface (Here). You can also access your files using a Remote Desktop Connection (Here).
