Connecting to the New Paltz N Drive

How can I use gnome to access files on my N Drive?
You can access files stored on the New Paltz N Drive using Nautilus, Gnome's file manager. To do so,

On the panel, open the "Places" Menu.
In the menu, click "Connect to Server".
Enter the following information in the window that appears:

Service Type: Windows share

Server: ares.newpaltz.edu

Share: home

Folder: Your NPCUID

Optionally, you may enter a name for this connection, as well as your username for storage.
Click "Connect". The share will appear both on the Desktop and within the "Places" menu.

How can I use smbclient to access files on my N Drive with the command line?
You can also access your files on the New Paltz N Drive using programs such as smbclient.

Open a terminal session
Type the command
```
     smbclient \\\\ares.newpaltz.edu\\home -U NPCUID
```
Where NPCUID is the user id you use for the windows labs on campus.
This will bring you to an smb prompt. This is much like an ftp prompt. Commands such as ls, dir, chmod, and mkdir are all available. For a list of supported commands, type the command "help".
For example, to retrieve the file program.java, the smb command would be
```
    get program.java
```
To send the file program.java to the N: drive, the smb command would be
```
    put program.java
```
