• Mac User Instructions
• PC User Instructions

If you are a Mac user:

• If you are a remote user, be sure you are logged into VPN / Global Protect
• If you are a local on-campus user, be sure you are logged in on your system as yourself (your regular 4 letter 4 number login).
  • Wired local connection is best, but if you are on WiFi, be sure you are connected to "UST", not "UST-Open".
• At “Finder” go to “Go” and “Connect to Server”
  
• Then enter the path of the drive you need to connect to
  
  • For any other drive than the above (such as "Athletics", "STELAR", "TheCrest", "emedia[course number]", etc), the path is smb://140.209.4.55/
  • If you know the drive you need to connect to, you can also enter that in the full address, such as smb://140.209.4.55/athletics
    • If you do not know the drive specific syntax (such as “athletics”) just enter the IP, that’s fine, you can choose from the drive in the next step
  • Enter your UST ID [john0001]
    • Do not enter your vanity address [john.doe@stthomas.edu]
    • If you are a remote user, be sure you are using your UST ID, NOT your local Mac account login credentials.
  • Select the drive you wish to connect to:
    
    • So, for instance in screen shot, select “athletics”
• You should now be connected to the drive.
  • First time connection can take a few moments to connect
• Also, it is recommended to make an alias to the drive in case you disconnect, etc.
  • Right click or control click on the drive that is mounted
  • Select “Make Alias” from pop up menu
  • 
  • You can also move the alias to OneDrive so it is backed up.
• Repeat this process for any and all drives you wish to connect

If you are a PC user:

• Open a regular Windows File Explorer window (NOT an Internet browser window)
• Single right click on the icon for “This PC” on the left of the window and scroll down to “Map Network Drive”
• On the pop up dialogue that appears, select a drive letter you are not using (Z is usually open)
• See screen shot below to reference in next steps
• Enter the address of the server and share you are trying to reach.
  • You will need to know the drive name you are trying to connect to
  • For MIC_Video and OEC studio drives, enter \\140.209.47.246\[drivename]
  • For all other drives (Athletics, STELAR, MIC, MIC_Photo, etc), enter \\140.209.4.55\[drivename]
• Be sure that the “Reconnect at sign-in” box is checked
• Enter your UST ID [john0001]
  • Do not enter your vanity address [john.doe@stthomas.edu]
• Select Finish
• Any time you log in going forward, your drive(s) you’ve mounted this way will mount.
• You can also create a shortcut to the drive once it is mounted in case you need to easily re-connect in the future.
• See image below to reference in next steps
• 
  • In a Windows Explorer window (not Internet browser window), open “This PC”
  • You will see all drives including your newly mapped Scalelogic drive(s)
    • Right click on the drive you wish to create a shortcut
    • Scroll down to “Create Shortcut” on the pop up menu
    • Place the shortcut on your desktop
      • You can also move the shortcut to your OneDrive for backup
• Repeat this process for any and all drives you wish to connect

VPN (remote) access is not currently enabled on all drives and will be handled on a per-user request basis.
