UCFileSpace
Your files, anywhere you need them
by Don Rainwater
UCit is pleased to announce a new online file service for faculty and students. The UCFileSpace service allows authorized UC faculty and students to store their files in a personal, online storage area and access them from anywhere on the UC campus network. Possible points of access include the computers in UCit's computer labs or almost any other network-attached computer on campus. If you have a laptop computer with a wireless network card, you can also get to your UCFileSpace from McMicken Commons, the Mainstreet patio tables between TUC and Steger, or any other wireless access point on campus.
Personal Web Pages
UCFileSpace includes support for personal web sites. Publishing a web page is as easy as dropping a web document into the Sites folder in your UCFileSpace. The Sites folder includes a template to help you get started.
Personal web pages formerly available using the OZ Unix service, and served to the Internet using http://homepages.uc.edu/~username, will now be on UCFileSpace. (We changed the homepages.uc.edu service name to point to UCFileSpace at the end of summer quarter.)
Unix Shell Access
UCFileSpace service includes access to a Unix command-line environment (Unix shell), replacing the OZ Unix service. Shell access to UCFileSpace debuted during summer quarter, and includes all of the popular features formerly available on OZ. At the end of summer quarter, we changed the oz.uc.edu service name to point to UCFileSpace as an alias.
UCit began rolling out UCFileSpace during summer quarter by giving accounts to all incoming freshmen during their summer orientation sessions. The service is now available to all UC faculty and students.
