-====== Physics file servers for Windows ======
-<note>
-You can only access our Windows file server directly (using normal Microsoft file sharing) from a University of Minnesota network address. If connecting from outside, you can either first connect to the [[http://www.oit.umn.edu/vpn/|University VPN service]], or you can connect using ssh.
-[[https://www.oit.umn.edu/vpn/downloads-guides/index.htm|VPN downloads and guides]]
-</note>
-===== Windows file servers =====
-You can connect to your home directory and other shares using native Windows file sharing, either by typing the path into the address bar in a file browser such as Windows Explorer, or by using "Map network drive". These are some of our commonly-used file servers:
-''spa-home'' contains your personal windows home directory, as well as some shares for departmental offices, etc.
-  * Browse to ''\\spa-home.spa.umn.edu'' to find available shares
-  * or go directly to ''\\spa-home.spa.umn.edu\users$\<your X500>'' for your home directory
-  * If prompted for a username/password to access these shares, enter **''AD\<your X500>''** and your umn password.
-''spa-data'' contains shared volumes for research groups
-  * Browse to ''\\spa-data.spa.umn.edu''
-  * If prompted for a username/password, enter **''AD\<your X500>''** and your umn password.
-''physhome.spa.umn.edu'' contains your physics unix home directory:
-  * Go to ''\\physhome.spa.umn.edu\<your_physics_username>'' to access your unix home directory
-  * If prompted for a username/password, enter **''SPA\<your physics username>''** and your physics password.
-''physgroups.spa.umn.edu'' contains shares for various workgroups such as website files, class grading dropboxes, and several research groups.
-  * Browse to ''\\physgroups.spa.umn.edu''
-  * If prompted for a username/password, enter **''SPA\<your physics username>''** and your physics password.
-===== Accessing your Active Directory Files remotely over ssh =====
-This is an alternative way to connect to your Windows file storage from outside the university, without first connecting to the VPN.
-==== Windows ====
-Use [[http://winscp.net/eng/download.php|winscp]] to connect to ''spa-home.spa.umn.edu''.  Login with username of ''AD\internetid'' and your x500/internet password.
-Note, winscp has two interfaces available (and asks which you want during installation) - the "Explorer" interface is most similar to the regular Windows file manager.
-Alternatively you could try mapping a drive letter using either [[http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/|Dokan]] (free but untested) or [[http://www.expandrive.com/|ExpanDrive]] (tested, but you have to pay for it)
-==== Mac OS ====
-  * First install [[http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/|macfuse]] ([[http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/downloads/list|Latest version here]])
-  * Then download sshfs for your version of OS X ([[http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/filesystems/sshfs/binary/|Latest version here]]) and save in your Downloads folder
-  * Open a terminal and do the following to install [[http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/MACFUSE_FS_SSHFS|sshfs]]:
-  mv ~/Downloads/sshfs-static-leopard ~/sshfs   #(or replace 'leopard' with whatever your version is)
-  chmod a+x ~/sshfs
-Then, to make a folder "physics" on your desktop which is connected to AD use the following syntax:
-  mkdir -p ~/Desktop/physics
-  ~/sshfs -o uid=$UID youx500internetID@spa-home.spa.umn.edu:/home ~/Desktop/physics
-The key is -o uid=$UID to map the username from your AD account to your local mac user, without this the files will not be accessible.
-There's also a nicer graphical client for accessing files over ssh called **MacFusion** (from http://macfusionapp.org). To make it work with our server, you'll need to use the "Extra options (Advanced) field to specify your local UID (which is usually 501, but you'll need to check this). Thus, the options field would read something like ''-o uid=501''.
-==== From Linux ====
-From most linux distributions (including departmental linux systems) you can simply run:
-  mkdir targetdir
-  sshfs -o uid=$UID youx500internetID@spa-home.spa.umn.edu:/home targetdir
-===== Troubleshooting Windows XP File Sharing =====
-Non-UMN Windows XP installs *may* need NTLMv2 auth policy set in gpedit.msc.  Of course, nobody should be using XP any more, but there could be some use in research labs on protected subnets, so we'll continue to provide these directions for now.
-  * Click on the Start menu and select Run...
-  * Type gpedit.msc and click OK.
-  * Navigate to ''Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options''.
-  * Double click on ''Network security: LAN Manager authentication level''.
-  * Set the value to ''Send NTLMv2 response only.  Refuse LM & NTLM''.
-  * Click the ''OK'' button.
-  * Restart the computer.
