Samba Access
Samba is a Linux server that provides remote filesystem access using SMB/CIFS protocol and is most commonly used by UFRC clients for drive mapping to HiPerGator filesystems from their Microsoft Windows, MacOS, and Linux desktops.
Notice: Samba access is only available while on the University of Florida network. You must be on campus or connected to the UF VPN to mount HiPerGator filesystems as network drive shares.
The network drive server name for /blue and /orange is exasmb.rc.ufl.edu
The network drive server name for /home is cifs.rc.ufl.edu
.
Note: for automatically mounted filesystem paths like /blue/group or /orange/project use the full path when mounting a samba share to initiate the automounting. e.g. on Windows type the full path into the Windows Explorer Path bar - '\\exasmb.rc.ufl.edu\blue\mygroup\mydir'.
