File Storage and Sharing

H: Drive (File Storage)

You have a Home Drive or H: Drive on the GSLIS domain which is available to you when you login to any machine in GSLIS (including those in the LRL, CTL and GSLIS classrooms) as well as remotely.
You have 512 MB of file storage space in your H: drive.

Files on the H: Drive can be accessed using the following methods:

1. Using  WebDav (recommended) (see instructions).
2. Through the classroom servers using SFTP (see instructions)
3. Through the classroom servers using SSH (see instructions) 

I: Drive (Web Publishing)

Your I: drive is a web-accessible file storage system that is available both within the GSLIS building and remotely. Before using your I: Drive, you must read the tutorial and enable your I: Drive web space.

You will not have an I: Drive space until you complete these steps !

Once you’ve enabled your I: Drive, you can place content in one of three folders:

• people_html is publicly available. This space is intended to be a professional space to keep materials such as a CV or résumé. The URL for files in people_html will be
  http://people.lis.uiuc.edu/~NetID/filename
  
• courseweb_html is publicly available. This space is intended to house any assignment or web page that you want to share with the world. The URL for files in courseweb_html will be
  http://courseweb.lis.uiuc.edu/~NetID/filename
  
• courseweb_htmls is not publicly available. Material housed in this directory is limited to users with GSLIS domain accounts. It is recommended that you store your assignments in this space. The URL for files in courseweb_htmls will be
  https://courseweb.lis.uiuc.edu/~NetID/filename (NOTE the https).

Note:

• In each of these examples, replace NetID with your UIUC NetID.
• You have 250 MB of file storage space in your I: drive
• File storage space will be available for two years after you leave GSLIS
• the URLs are CaSe sensitive!
