Technical Services currently supports several campus-wide file
services. The locally developed Potlatch server provides Macintosh AppleShare
service, and allows users to make FTP connections from either Macintosh or
Windows desktops. The Wilson NT system provides similar file sharing service
for Windows desktop users, and also provides windows print queues for networked
printers. The AFS system provides a shared file system for UNIX systems.
Potlatch supports the DartFiles, Locker, Strongbox, and Vault volumes.
DartFiles provides software distribution, general file sharing (e.g., help
information), and course materials folders with drop folders for assignment
submissions. The Locker, Strongbox, and Vault volumes were introduced to
provide personal network accessible storage, document backup, and sharing
space. They don't support the Windows protocols that would provide an iconic
view of the file server on a Windows desktop.
