File server usage for GEOVDI users

All users: Take care of your backup! We do not provide backup of user data!

For RDSH users:
After log in you will find the common directory structure on your desktop (Downloads, Documents, ...) . While you are logged in they reside locally on the C: drive of the RDSH server. But they are copied from the fileserver fs1 to your RDSH when you log in, and are copied back to fs1 when you log out. If you store big data in your profile structure (Desktop, Downloads, Documents, ...), the processes to log in and log out will take much longer due to the copy processes. Therefore, you are not allowed to store more than 10GB in your profile.

Every user also has a drive "Z:" which is a link to the hard disk on fileserver fs1 directly ( \\fs1\rdsh-user\%USERNAME% ). This is the space where you should store bigger amounts of data. You can access data on that space as if they were on a local drive.




For VDI users:
After log in you will find the common directory structure on your desktop (Downloads, Documents, ...) . While you are logged in they reside locally on the C: drive of the Windows-10 virtual machine. After logout your data are copied back to fileserver fs2 and destroyed on the running VM.
There is currently no Z: drive

Poolraum-Fileserver fsc (room GEO 4440):
Accessing files of the fileserver "fsc" is also possible.
Open an Explorer window
Into the address bar type: \\134.102.241.56 and hit Return/Enter key
After some seconds you should get a windows asking for your credentials.
Type "SAMBA\Your_Uni_Bremen_Account_name" in the upper field, and the corresponding password in the lower field.
In case the upper field is prefilled with a wrong content click on "More choices" "Use a different account" .

access fsc shares


Windows will always use those credentials automatically if you access the same server "fsc" again in the running session. If you want to use other credentials of fsc (for example to use files of your colleague), you first have to make Windows to forget the current credentials:
Open a "Command Prompt" (Type CMD to the search field).
Type "net use * /d" into the Command Prompt window and hit Return/Enter key.
Give the appropriate answer.
Try to open the shares of \\134.102.241.56 again via the Explorer window.
