Accessing UNIX Disks from PC

Macintosh OS:

OS X mounts all the UNIX disks. To access the files from these disks you must first copy the files you want to the local drive since the software installed runs from OS 9.1. You can also use FTP to access you UNIX files on Mac based systems is to use FTP to get the files from the UNIX cluster. FTP from darwin.core from within the private network using the FTP client on the system.

Windows 95/98/NT:

FTP method - FTP from darwin.core from within the private network or csbphe.csb.yale.edu from the public network using the FTP client installed on the system.

SAMBA method - If you have a SAMBA account, you can access the CSB networked disks directly using Windows. More details on SAMBA including how to get an account or change your password can be found here.

• Windows NT:
  1. Goto "Network Neighborhood -> Microsoft Windows Network -> Core"
  2. Double-click on "Pcserver".
  3. You will be prompted for username and password... your username is your UNIX user id and your password is your SAMBA password that you created when you received your samba account.
     N.B. If you logged into a WinNT workstation within the Core user area using your UNIX id and password AND your UNIX password equals your SAMBA passsword, then your UNIX disks will already be present and your home directory will be the Z:\ drive. If not, follow the steps above.
• Windows 95/98:
  1. You first need to setup your networking settings to prompt for "Microsoft Networking Login" at startup.
     1. This is done simply by going to "Start -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Network"
     2. Change the "Primary Login" field to "Client for Microsoft Networks".
     3. You will need to restart your computer at this point.
  2. When it restarts you will be prompted for username and password, use you UNIX id and password.
  3. When the login procedure is completed, your UNIX disks will now be accessible by going to "Network Neighborhood -> Microsoft Windows Network -> Core" and double-click on "Pcserver". If your UNIX and SAMBA password differ, you will be prompted to enter a password before you can access your disks... type your SAMBA password.
