After connecting to fs.fa.utah.edu (described in the articles Connect from a Mac or Connect from a PC), you can mount the Student-Homes volume. This volume is only available to students and faculty with current course space on fs.fa.utah.edu

The home folders on Student-Homes contain the following 4 folders: Dropbox, Private, Public, and Sites.

Dropbox

The Dropbox is a place where anyone with access to the volume can put files for the Dropbox’s owner. Only the person whose home folder the dropbox is in can read all the files inside it, although the person who puts a file into someone else’s Dropbox will be able to see the file. This folder is often used for returning marked papers to students or giving a document or media file to a specific person.

Private

The Private folder can only be seen by the person whose home folder it is inside. It is used to store an individual’s files that are not being shared with others.

Public

The Public folder is accessible to any person who can mount the volume in question: Any CFA instructor or student with access to course space for the Student-Homes volume. All files within this folder are visible to anyone who can mount the Student-Homes volume.

Sites

The Sites folder can house static html web pages that are then accessible via the URL students.fa.utah.edu/~homefoldername
