HowTo Access your Homedir

Every user of the IPG network have a personal space on our central file server. This space is completely at his/hers disposition and every kind of files can be recorded inside. Maintaining all the personal files in this server means that your files are under hourly backup operation and that you can access it from every Linux workstation of the Labs automatically and even from personal laptops with different Operating systems, as Os X or Windows.

Access personal files from Linux

Automatically, when you login on one of the workstation, the system connect to your homedir maintained in the central file server and you can access all your files.

Access personal files from Os X

Users of Os X Operating System can connect to his/hers homedir using the smb connection protocol. Just connect to the server iscsrv30.epfl.ch using the Command-K key combination. If the initial connection is successful, the system will ask for your gaspar login credentials. After inserting these, you can select the directory to mount (your homedir is your login name, web is the web space disc, scratch is the temporary disk space). Once mounted you can access your files directly from the Os X applications.
