| From your desktop, RIGHT click on either "My
Computer" or "My Network Places".
From that menu, choose "Map Network Drive". |
 |
| In the "Map Network Drive" window, left
click on the option "Create a shortcut to a Web folder or FTP site" |
 |
| You will be taken to another "Add
Network Place Wizard" window. In the "Type the
location of the Network Place:"
line, add the following, being sure to add the "s" to "https://"
which makes the connection secure. You won't be able to connect
without it.
https://webdav.longwood.edu/yourlancernetid
When ready, choose "Next". |
 |
| When prompted for your credentials,
enter your lancernetid@longwood.edu and your current LancerNet password.
It is best not to choose to "Save this password in your password
list", particularly if
you are not on your own computer. |
 |
| You will be taken to another "Add
Network Place Wizard" window which will confirm the name of the network connection.
This won't need changing, it is basically an alternative name you can
assign for when you come to open it later.
Choose the "Finish" button. |
 |
| The connection will open in a new window.
You will be able to copy and paste files into this window like you would a folder on
your computer.
Using the "drag and drop" method with your files
will create a copy action instead of a "move" action, so it should be
safe to do.
Be aware that as this is a internet connection, the speed
of the file transfer will depend on your connection speed.
|
 |
| If this is your computer and not one in
the labs, you should be able to access this connection in the future by
opening up "My Network Places" from the icon on your desktop and it
should be listed there. Double left click on it to open it. |
 |
| To remove the connection from a computer,
go into "My Network Places" from the icon on your desktop. Right
click on the icon for your WebDav connection and choose "Delete".
This severs the connection and will not harm the data on your
computer or the server.
