Drives available on NGCSU lab computers

When NGCSU students login to a lab computer they have access to network drives, a local student folder, USB port or USB cable and a CD-ROM drive.

What network drives are available?
Students have access to a 'P' and 'R' drive on the network.

What is the network 'P' drive?
The 'P' drive is where each student may save his/her files. The 'P' drive also may contain your personal NGCSU web page. This drive exists on a server within the IIT department at NGCSU. Students may access their 'P' drive off-campus using FTP. For instructions, click here.

How much space am I allocated on my 'P' drive?
Each student has 30MB of space on their 'P' drive.

What is the network 'R' drive?
The 'R' drive is a drive where professors put class materials and assignments for their classes. This drive exists on a server within the IIT department at NGCSU. At this time, students are not permitted to 'save' any files to this drive.

What is the Student folder?
This folder is used by students to temporarily save or download school materials and resides on the desktop of all lab computers. This folder is accessible to anyone who logs into the computer, which means your work is accessible by anyone who logs into the computer. IIT recommends that once you are finished with your work, you should save your files to a permanent location such as your 'P' drive or pen/flash drive and then delete your files from the student folder.

Pen/flash drives:
Students are encouraged to use pen/flash drives via the USB ports or the USB cable on the campus lab computers. For assistance transferring files from floppies or zip disks, contact The Computer Hub at 706-867-2828.

CD-ROM Drive:
You may use the CD-ROM drive to open and run files. These drives are read only, so you won't be able to 'write to' or 'burn' CDs.

Hard Drive:
Students do not have access to the hard drive. To save files locally on the computer they should use the 'Student folder'.
