Campus web developers - accessing the campus web server

The campus web server (www.uwrf.edu) hosts web pages for department and student and other organizations. If you are a web developer for one of these areas, please use the instructions below to locate and edit the web areas for which you are responsible.

Windows:

If you login to Novell when your computer starts up

After you login to Novell, a second login prompt appears. Login to this with your Falcon Account and your W: drive will be mapped to the campus web server. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer to view the W: drive. It takes a few minutes to appear after startup.

There you will see listed the entire campus web site. You will only be able to edit the areas for which you have been given editing rights.

If you login with your Falcon Account

If you do not get a W: drive to the campus web server when you login to your computer, you can create this yourself. To map a drive to the campus web server, please follow the instructions below.

1. Open Windows Explorer (Win key - E)
2. From the Tools menu, select Map Network Drive
3. Select an available drive letter (W: if it is available) and in the Folder space, type
   \\webfs\CampusWeb
   
4. Check the check box labeled Reconnect at logon
5. Login with your Falcon Account if prompted
6. The drive letter you requested will be mapped displaying the campus Web folders. Note: All Web folders will be displayed. Access the files in the folder(s) that you have permission to edit.
