Project File Space

Space on the Engineering network is provided to working groups that need common file space for research, conferences, laboratories, etc. Permissions to project file space should be available only to those people who are within the group.

To apply for a project space on the network, email the ENS Help Desk or call 491-2917. Please include the full names and engineering network usernames for all those who should have access to the project directory. The full name and purpose of the project is needed, along with an abbreviation that can be up to 8 characters in length. This abbreviation will be used as the name of the project space as well as the name in the project's web address.

Once created, the project space can be found on the Engineering file services network at:

T:\projects\<project name> (for Windows)
/top/projects/<project name> (for UNIX)

Within the project directory, a "www" sub-directory is created by default. Any web files placed within this directory can be viewed via the Internet at this URL:

http://www.engr.colostate.edu/<project name>/<name of the web file>

The college provides 500MB of network file space for each project space. Additional file space may be rented in 1GB or 5GB increments as shown below:

This is more expensive than buying a hard disk for a PC, but includes the cost of daily backups as well as the redundancy inherent in a RAID array and an enterprise class server.
