Student Home Drives

About

All enrolled SCIS Students are entitled to 250MB of storage on our student home drive server. This storage space provides students with an area to backup their work and store

How

Student home drives are created automatically when you enrol in a SCIS unit.

Access

Three separate ways of accesing your home drive are available. Each method is suitable for accessing your data from a different place.

• UNC

  This is the standard way of accessing your drive in the SCIS labs. You'll notice that when you open the 'Home Drive' link on your desktop, the address resembles \\scismlfs2.ads.ecu.edu.au\stuhome\<username> , where <username> is your ADS username.

• HTTP

  This method provides read-only access to your data from outside the University. Simply point your web browser at http://stuhome.scis.ecu.edu.au/, enter your ADS username and password, and select your username from the list. Remember to preceed your username with ADS\ .

• FTP

  If you require read/write access to your data from an off-campus location, this is the method you should use. Enter the following details in your ftp client:
  Server name: stuhome.scis.ecu.edu.au
  TCP Port: 21
  Username/password: Your ADS username and password. Remember to preceed your username with ADS\.
