A file server is a large network storage device that functions much like a local hard drive on your computer. The icon for the file server appears on your computer's desktop on a Macintosh, or in the My Computer folder on a Windows computer.
Current file servers available for use by members of the Dartmouth community are:
- www.dartmouth.edu is the name of Dartmouth's primary web server. Anyone who is currently a member of the Dartmouth community can apply for an account on www.dartmouth.edu and upload their own web pages.
- Cobweb is the name of Dartmouth's experimental web server. Anyone who is currently a member of the Dartmouth community can obtain an account on Cobweb for testing of CGIs. An account on www.dartmouth.edu is a prerequisite for an account on Cobweb. For more information, see Web Hosting at Dartmouth.
- Dropbox.dartmouth.edu and ftplocal.dartmouth.edu are two files servers that can be used for transferring large amounts of data from one computer to another. For more information, see Using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Program.
