IMAGE Lab: Introduction to Saving Data

There are a variety of places provided by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences where you can store your data. Here is brief evaluation of them.

Space	Description	Platform
"H" drive	The "H" drive is your "home" space on the netware server. You can use it to store documents that are not meant to be public.	Windows, MAC
"I" drive	The "I" drive is your web space on the netware server. Anything you save there is visible from http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/username/	Windows, MAC
Home & Public_html	Your home and web space, respectively, on the UNIX filesystem. You can store confidential files in your home directory and public web files in your public_html directory.	UNIX

As you can see, you have two different places to store your personal, non-web documents. If you are using a Windows or Macintosh PC, you can save your personal documents on your "H" drive; conversely, users logged in to the UNIX workstations can save their work in their /home/ directories.

You also have two places you can save your web documents. Your UNIX /home/ directory, for example, has a folder inside it called public_html, whose contents are visible at the URL http://www.clas.ufl.edu/~username/. Your netware web space, on the other hand, is on a totally separate drive, called your "I" drive, whose contents are displayed at http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/username/.

To learn how to save to one of these directories from the computer you're working on, see our saving data help pages; to learn more, see the Networked Writing Environment's help pages about Computer Resources for Instructors.
