!Attention Students!

The following are services that the EIC account offers you:

Data Storage in our servers: It is called the “H drive”.

In the “H drive”, you can save up to 100 Mb of “academic related data” that can be accessed in any computer lab in the engineering building by logging in with the given EIC account. This comes with a print quota of 45 pages per week without roll over. The print quota is subject to change.

Access to your data through internet connection:

1. Access to the data through Internet Explorer:
By going to http://netstorage.eng.fiu.edu, students are prompted for the Username and Password. This allows them to see their account mappings, including the H drive. This application lets the user do everything they normally do with folders and files (move, delete, rename, etc) “exept” download and upload folder. They can download and upload files, but not folders.

2. FTP service: The FTP ( File Transfer Protocol ) service lets students access only their H drive through an internet browser. By going to ftp://ftp.eng.fiu.edu, students can do everything they normally do with files and folders, “including downloading and uploading folders”.

3. Creation Web folder ( win 2k & winXP only ): This service also allows students to access their mappings, including the H drive. A web folder is like a network link that in this particular case would communicate students to their data. To create a web folder, double click in “My Network Places” icon on the desktop. Then, double click on the “Add Network Place” icon to get the “Welcome to the Add Network Place Wizad” window that is going to guide you through the creation of the web folder. Type https://netstorage.eng.fiu.edu/oneNet/Netstorage in the wizard window for the location of the network place and hit next until it asks you for a name for the folder. Give it a name like “EIC account” or any other name you prefer. Hit finish. Now, there is a web folder ( or link ) in “My Network place” that links the student to the his/her mappings. To access the H drive just double click in the folder created and type the Username and Password. https://netstorage.eng.fiu.edu/oneNet/Netstorage

4. Your own web page from your H drive: Create a folder called “public_html” in the H drive. Put your HTML code in this folder and access it through the web by typing http://web.eng.fiu.edu/~username. Be aware that the first page of your web site that will be displayed is the one named "index.html" or "Index.htm".
