Also available: Instructions to connect to the Storage server from a PC and off-campus.
1. First, make sure you are connected to Resnet, either through an Ethernet cable on campus somewhere or through the Grinnell College (secure) wireless network.
2. In the Finder (click on a blank area of the desktop and the upper left-hand corner of your screen should say Finder), click on the Go menu. 3. Under the Go menu, select Connect to Server option (Command + K for keyboard shortcut)
4. In the address bar, type in afp://storage.grinnell.edu and press Connect.
5. It will prompt you to mount a volume- scroll down to the proper student grouping (alphabetized by last name under student_a_f, student_g_l, student_m_r, and student_s_z).
6. Click on the appropriate student folder, and find your folder through your username. After being prompted for a password, you should be able to open and save to your student folder.
