As of July 28, 2011 there is a new method for you to access your public web share from our Windows computers.
Formerly, you would access your web share by navigating to the "www" directory on your U: drive (U:\www).
Now, we have created a new network drive available in "My Computer" to access your web share.
Open My Computer from the Windows Desktop.

Under the Network Drives section in "My Computer" there will be a network drive named public-webspace with the drive letter "O:\" (see selected below) Click here if you do not see a drive as described.

Double click the selected network drive. Your web share will open in the window.

An example web share with a folder and an "index.html" file.
Anything that is placed in this folder is available publicly on the internet at your personal web address (http://www.eng.utoledo.edu/~YOURUSERNAME/)
Dragging and dropping files into this network drive is all that is required to share them.
The web server's default index names are index.html, index.htm, home.html, and home.htm. The server does not offer support for 3rd party proprietary extensions such as ".aspx".
If the drive is not mapped on your computer please use the following instructions.
(This first set of instructions is only avaliable to Faculty and Staff, if you are a student please use the more advanced method at the bottom of this page.)
Open My Computer from the Windows Desktop.
Click on Tools then Map Network Drive...

Select O: for the drive letter, then select Folder and type:
\\www.eng.utoledo.edu\public-webspace
Check Reconnect at logon so that the O: drive will be available everytime you log into your computer.

Then select Finish and continue with the tutorial at the top of this page.
A More Advanced method
On a Windows machine on the engineering network you can go to Start > Run and paste (or type) into the prompt:
net use O: \\www.eng.utoledo.edu\public-webspace
A prompt may ask for your Engineering username and a password. Once completed go to My Computer and there should be a new drive titled: "public-webspace" as shown above.
