Connecting to Mac or PC Class Folder Remotely
The following information is intended for instructors who need to connect to a Mac or PC Class Folder from a remote location, such as their office or from home.
You can connect via SFTP. SFTP is a standard method for transferring files from a computer to a remote server. One of the important advantages is that you can connect to Class Folders using both a Mac or a PC. This is the only method that can be used to connect to the Class Folders remotely.
The following are the Internet addresses of our servers:
Building -- SFTP Address
Hart -- lm-hart.ucdavis.edu
Hutchison -- lm-hut.ucdavis.edu
Meyer -- lm-meyer.ucdavis.edu
Olson -- lm-ol2.ucdavis.edu
SLB -- lm-slb.ucdavis.edu
To connect to our Class Folders use your UCD computing account username and password. When you first connect open the folder Class_Folders and then you may have the option of choosing Mac or PC. If you are teaching in a Mac computer classroom open Mac, and vice versa for PC. If you are still unable to connect properly please email labmanager@ucdavis.edu to request access.
Here is a list of SFTP programs you may use on your Mac or PC. All these programs are supported by IT Express.
