Your Digital Storage Space: Simmons gives you a 100-megabyte personal network folder or Y: drive, for private, password-protected storage. Separately, you get 10 megabytes of public web server space to house your web development projects.

Y: drive - Your personal network folder

Every student gets 100 megabytes of password-protected storage space on the file server, known as your personal network folder or Y: drive. This is a great place to store or backup files, as an alternative to e-mailing files to yourself. You can access it from both on- and off-campus (more on remote access in the next section). The screenshots below illustrate the shortcuts available on Simmons Tech Lab computers:

Public web space

Every student also has 10 megabytes of web server space, completely separate from your network folder. Files placed in your web space are immediately viewable via a URL. They are actually "live" on the web. This is where your TOR Part 3 HTML page will live after you have moved it into this space with an FTP client. We will cover that more process more in depth in TOR Part 3.

Note: Both these network services expire one month after you withdraw or graduate.
