Using the Student Server
The server is a computer
in another room on which you can store files.
Once you follow some steps (below) and type in a password, a special folder appears on your computer. You copy files to the server by dragging the files to that special folder.

• The server is good for
transferring files from one computer to another.
• It's also good for making backups of your projects.
• You will occasionally be asked to turn in your projects to a folder on the server.
• Don't use it to store the original copies of your files--it's too slow for that.
• Don't put anything private or important there--it's not secure, and it will be erased at least twice a year.

1.
Switch to the Finder by clicking on the desktop.
Click on Go-->Connect to Server.
2. In the Server Address box, type osxsrv1.jlhs.nhusd.k12.ca.us and click Connect.
3. Enter the name and password for your class (posted on the wall), then click Connect:
4. Select "Students" when it asks you which volumes you wish to mount, and click OK.
5. Wait for a window to open with a bunch of numbered folders in it. When it opens, scroll down to yours.
If your login name was s1078, for instance, scroll down to that number and double-click on it.
9. If you're not here to turn something in, but are here instead to create a place to store your files (for backup or to move files from one computer to another), then make a folder in here with your name on it, and drag your files into that folder.
10. ALL THESE STEPS? Every time I want to log on? What a pain! I agree.
If you drag the Student Files folder to your Dock (to the left of the Trash, but to the
right of that vertical line), it should stay there forever, and from then on you
can double-click on it, enter the name and password, and go straight to
your folder instead of having to go through all of those steps.
This is what it looked like when I dragged mine to my Dock:
