You can put files into the shared folders on drive K: and anyone with OC network access, and the
proper rights, can access them. Usually you have to send them an e-mail telling them where to
find the the files because some of the shared folders on drive K: are quite large and have a
complex folder structure.
Accessing the OC network from off-campus
There are 2 ways to access files stored on the OC network when you’re not plugged in to an
Ethernet port on campus.
1 - using the mystorage web interface from any internet browser
•
login with Novell credentials
2 - using VPN (virtual private network)
•
login with email credentials, then run your Novell login
Using mystorage to access your F: drive
When you’re running wireless or using the internet from home, you don’t have a direct
connection to the files on your OC network drive. However, you can retrieve a file using a web
interface called mystorage.
Launch an internet browser and enter the following address:
http://mystorage.okanagan.bc.ca
You will be asked for a username and password. Because this is your Novell network space, you
need to enter your Novell username and password. After a few moments you will see a
directory listing. Drive-F@OUC is your network My Documents folder.
Open Drive-F@OUC and select the file you want and download it to your laptop. You then make
the changes you want, then upload it back to your Drive F: My Documents folder.
Using mystorage to share a file when you’re wireless or surfing from home.
Log in to http//mystorage.okanagan.bc.ca as above.
Open Kalamalka-Users, KLO-Lib-Users, Penticton-Users, or Sal-Users as necessary and navigate
to the shared folder where you want to put the file.
Click on File and pull down to Upload to select the file you want to put on the K: drive.
