Accessing the Storage Drive

Here you will find instructions on how to access the hf-mocap storage drive on the lagringshotell.

Introduction

The "lagringshotell" is UiO's network-attached storage. It is where we store research data and is secure for green, yellow, and red data. More details on storage classifcation can be found here. Access differs depending on how you are connected to the network. This is a secure drive so permissions must be given for new users. Contact Kayla for help with access. 

Cabled UiO Network 

Computers accessing the UiO cabled network should be able to access the storage directly. However due to corona this has not been tested. More details to come

Wifi or Offsite 

If you are sitting on a machine that is not connected to a wired network at UiO, such as wireless network or mobile network, then you must use Cyberduck (Mac), WinSCP (Windows), or Filezilla (Linux or Ubuntu) for access to the drive. Note: all programs work on windows but it is recommended to use WinSCP. The programs are not part of the software center or base image so they will need to be downloaded before use. Links to download Cyberduck  or WinSCP or Filezilla.

Cyberduck
