Accessing Files
Accessing Files
This page summarizes how to access files on the NRAO network.
NetApp Filers
Each site uses a NetApp filer to store critical files. Access to these filers is available from all three platforms. The system names are:
Site | Hostname |
---|---|
AOC | aocfiler |
CV | cvfiler |
GB | gbfiler |
Network home directories
Each user has a network home directory for storing files and documents. Files in this area are store on the site's NetApp filer and are backed up and protected against loss.
Linux
Linux | Mac | Windows |
---|---|---|
/users/<username> | smb://<filer>/<username> | \\filer\<username> |
User web areas
NRAO users are provided with an individual web home area on their respective site's web site for the purposes of building a professional web site. These sites may be viewed at the URL:
https://www.<site>.nrao.edu/~<username>
The files may be accessed via one of these methods:
Site | Linux | Mac | Windows |
---|---|---|---|
AOC | ~/public_html/ | smb://samba-aoc/public_html/ | \\samba-aoc\public_html |
CV | ~/public_html/ | smb://cvfiler/public_html/<user> | \\cvfiler\public_html\<user> |
GB | ~/public_html/ | smb://samba-gb/www.gb.nrao.edu/homes/<user> | \\samba-aoc\www.gb.nrao.edu\homes\<user> |
Web server files
Most NRAO web servers can be accessed via NFS or SMB to create/update files. CV and GB's samba server offer access to most web server file areas. CV's samba server offers only a few with most CV web server serving files via smb directly.
The following web sites should be accessed directly on the running server (\\web.site.name\web.site.name):
- www.nrao.edu
- www.cv.nrao.edu
- library.nrao.edu
- webapps.cv.nrao.edu
- webtest2.cv.nrao.edu
