How to mount the network drive on your computer?

Using SMB Windows 7-10

Connect to \\soliscom.uu.nl\science\projects\<projectname>

To map a project space to a drive:

  • Open My Computer (or a Windows Explorer, then select Tools → Map Network Drive...
  • Select a drive letter.
  • Enter the project folder you want to connect to.
  • You may wish to check the Reconnect at logon option: this will ensure the mapping persists when restarting your system.
  • Click Finish; you may be asked for your Solis-id and password.
  • The new drive will appear in the list of available drives and can be accessed.

Using SSL Windows 7-10

You can also use the net use command to connect to a project space

  • Open Start → All Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt. Execute the following command:
net use <drive> \\soliscom.uu.nl\science\projects\<projectname> /user:soliscom\<solisid>
  • For <drive> substitute an available drive letter, e.g. z:.
    For <projectname> substitute the project name.
    For <solisid> substitute your own Solis-id.
    After you have supplied your password, the connection is established.
  • Use the parameter /persistent:yes to establish a connection that persists after you have re-logged in on your system.
  • Use net use /help for a list of further possibilities.

Using CIFS for MacOSX

Choose Finder menu: - Go - connect to server and enter address: cifs://soliscom.uu.nl/science/projects Click + to bookmark this address.

Using WebDAV (Windows and OSX, works outside the UU-network, no VPN needed)

Connect to https://intercon.science.uu.nl/science/projects. You will be shown all project spaces as directories, but you may open only those spaces to which you have been granted access rights.

Using Linux

Login to a Linux interactive shell, then change directory to the project tree /science/projects/<projectnaam>. The project tree is currently not yet mounted on all Linux student PC's.

Using (s)FTP

See under personal storage.

Web interface on a project space

The best web platform for your project
ICT-Bèta offers several web platforms, and can advise you in your choice for a platform.
If you request a web interface for your project, this advise will also be given.

Part of a project space can be used to build and present a web site. To this end, you should put a directory 'www' in the root of the project space. The project web site works like a personal web site, with the following modifications:

  • The web interface is not automatically shown after defining the www directory, unless you have explicitly applied for it (see below).
  • The web interface is shown on the web address http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/<projectname>
  • Please note that some limitations apply to project web names: spaces are not allowed, nor special characters; ideally a project web name contains only letters a-z and digits 0-9.

Applying for a project space

A project space can be applied for through the ITS Selfservicedesk. When applying, please state the following:

  • simple name for the project space directory;
  • who should be granted read/write access (preferably as a list of Solis-ids);
  • who should be granted read-only access (preferably as a list of Solis-ids);
  • if the project space should have a web interface, what should be the project web name (preferably containing only letters a-z and digits 0-9).
