Research Data Services upgraded their storage service in November 2017. Previously, if you wanted to move data from a microscope computer to your RDS project folder you would have to use an FTP client like Filezilla or WinSCP. Now it is possible to mount your project folder as a drive in Windows. To do this, please follow the procedure below:
- Click on the Windows Start Button and select Computer
- Click 'Map network drive'
- In the ' folder ' field, type \\ssh.rd.ucl.ac.uk\ followed by your RDS project folder. For example, to connect to 'ritd-ag-project-rd001w-skraw86' I would type: '\\ssh.rd.ucl.ac.uk\ritd-ag-project-rd001w-skraw86'
- Check the box 'Connect using different credentials'
- In the User name field, type in your UCL username preceded by ad\
- Type in your UCL password
- Click OK
