These drives, and the documents stored in them, reside on the College\u2019s file servers\u00a0 and are easily accessed from your college-owned computer when you are connected to the SMCM network in your office.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when you need to print, update, or distribute a document to others from home or elsewhere off-campus?<\/p>\n<p>In order to access your files on a network drive, you will need to do two things: (i) access the College\u2019s<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vpn\">Virtual Private Network (VPN)<\/a>;\u00a0 and (ii) manually map your drive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connecting to the College\u2019s Virtual Private Network (VPN)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The VPN allows college faculty and staff to securely connect to the SMCM network without being physically plugged in via ethernet cable. This will allow you to directly connect to your network drive in the second step without the need for an internet browser or FTP program. Follow the instructions per your operating system found in our <a title=\"Setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN)\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1k9I3OLGXyc5C7zRZc8rEwQlWZHtxJFRVsrRXU2N2ozo\/\">Setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN)<\/a>. Once you have successfully connected to the SMCM network, you can map your drive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manually Mapping your Drive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After connecting via VPN to the SMCM network, you should be able to find and connect to the desired network drives that you can normally access on campus.\u00a0 You will be prompted for your username and password.\u00a0 You must first change your domain by entering <em><strong>smcm.edu\\YourUserName<\/strong><\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in the username field, and for your password please enter your network password.<\/p>\n<p>Just like if you were on campus, you need to have permissions to access folders before you can view them.
