Studev and FSVS01 are accessible from off campus only through the Virtual Private Network (VPN). If you require access, please email the helpdesk for a VPN logon and password.

Each student is allotted private storage space on the student file print server (fsvs01). This storage is provided to students as an academic resource and should be used for this purpose only.

Stufac - \\fsvs01\StuFac - space shared by faculty and students for academic use

Public - \\fsvs01\public - This is an area open to faculty, staff and students for storing Olinrelated data.

Sandbox - \\fsvs01\sandbox - This space is meant for very short-term storage.

There is a finite limit to storage and anything older than 30 days is purged daily. You may share files with anyone here or use as a temp repository. Since this folder is designed as temporary storage, there is no data back up available.

A complete backup of all files stored on the network is completed on a regular basis. If you have any issues with regard to accidentally deleting or otherwise losing files, contact helpdesk@olin.edu as soon as possible. It is recommended that you save all files to the network drive to ensure appropriate backup. If you choose to save files to your local drive, it is your responsibility to ensure that they are properly backed up. All data stored on the Olin network should fall within the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy. (see http://it.olin.edu/policies/AppropriateUsePolicy.pdf).
