How to add a link to S-Drive (S:) from your home page

This document explains how to create a link to the S-Drive in faculty home pages. These instructions are intended for faculty use only.

Requirements

  • Teacher directory in S-Drive (S:) (e.g., S:\CCORONEL)
  • Contact JCB Help Desk x4537 for your directory in S-Drive (S:)
  • A Web Browser

Creating your link to your directory in S-Drive (S:)

Edit your home page and add a link to the S-Drive (S:). Use the following syntax in your link statement (normally, it is an URL address.) For example:
http://raptor1.bizlab.mtsu.edu/s-drive/CCORONEL/490/

Replace CCORONEL/4900 with your directory and sub-directory name in the S-Drive (S:).
This link will directly take the user to S:\CCORONEL\4900\ directory. Upon access, you will be presented with a list of directories and files such as spreadsheets (.wk1,.xls), Acrobat (.pdf), PowerPoint (.ppt), Word (.doc), etc.
  • To open them directly using the appropriate program on your computer, simply click on the file name. (It may not always work)
  • To download to a floppy or hard drive for later use, right click on file and select "Save Target As..." or "Save Link As...".
