How to connect to class shares

The school of HASS maintains many servers for use by faculty and students. To access these servers you must use your RCS username and password. You must also be on the RPI network or connected via the VPN to access these servers. The main file server is hass11.win.rpi.edu.

You should have been provided a “Path” to the server location by a staff member or your instructor. This path looks similar to a website URL but cannot be used in a regular web browser. Replace the example path in step 2 with the path provided to you. If you do not know the path use \\hass11.win.rpi.edu and browser the folders to the proper location.
