How do I Use my "H:" and "I:" Drives? What are they for?

When you log into the SRU network, you are provided access to storage space on one or more network servers. All SRU faculty, staff and students receive 25MB of secure storage space on the SRU network mapped in Windows as the "H" drive.

NOTE:  When you log-in to either the "H" or "I" drive, you may be asked to authenticate several times (this is because of the firewall) and you may be asked the domain:  it is srunet.

The H: (HOME) Drive (located in “My Computer” of campus computers) is a drive that holds personal folders for each and every Student, Staff, and Faculty. These personal folders can hold 25MB of data. Any file can be saved to these folders and are only accessible to the specific user after the log into the SRU network.

To access this space open "My Computer" and then click on the disc icon with your user name (e.g. tim.kirk$ in the example below - Macintosh users running Mac OS X should contact the help desk for details about connecting to the H & I drives on campus). You can copy files to and from you H drive as you would to any other storage media. Once something is saved to the H drive, you have access to it from any networked computer by simply logging into the SRU network. The H drive can be accessed off campus from a newtorked computer running the Windows OS by using the SRUWEBACCESS tool to mount it :

Looking again at the sample "My Computer" window shown below, you will observe another network drive: the "I" or 'classworks' drive. This network drive is primarily used by faculty to distribute class projects, homework assignments and related information. Like the H drive, this drive is automatically mounted when you log into the SRU network and can be accessed off campus by using the SRUWEBACCESS tool to mount it.

The I: (CLASSWORK) Drive (located in “My Computer” of campus computers) is a faculty folder. These folders hold faculty’s work, syllabi, and homework.  All students are able to access these folders when logging on to the network. These folders are organized by departments/faculty. If your English professor assigned a homework assignment on the I: drive, look for the “English” folder, then the professor’s name.

The I or "classwork" drive can be accessed from any networked computer (Mac, Linux, and Windows) by using an Internet browser to connect to it as a web site at http://classwork.sru.edu. Simply enter your SRU user name and password in the authentication dialog box to obtain read access to the I drive from anywhere on the Internet. Use your normal SRU user name & password - srunet is your domain:
