How
do I access my Home Directory?
Your
home directory (also known as your H:\ drive on a PC) is
a personal folder created for you on one of our servers.
Saving your files and documents there allows them to be
accessed from any computer on-campus or off. Your home directory
is also backed-up every night to insure that you will never
lose your files if your computer breaks or even if you accidentally
delete them. You can always find the location of your home
directory by visiting http://www.rowan.edu/myhome
Windows
PC users can access their home directory (H:\
Drive) by double-clicking the "My Computer"
icon on your desktop (or from the Start Menu, depending
on how Windows XP looks on your computer) and double-clicking
the H: Drive.

OSX users can access your home directory by clicking
"go" on the Finder menu, selecting "Connect
to Server" and entering your home server as listed
on the http://www.rowan.edu/myhome
page. (nwuser2.rowan.edu for example) Once you
click "Connect" you will be prompted for your
Rowan username and password.

How
do I create a personal web page?
All
student and most employee home directories automatically
contain a folder called "public.www".
Using any web editor, you can now create an index.html page
and save it to your public.www folder. That index.html page
will be your personal home page. You can reach this page
by visiting http://users.rowan.edu/~yourusername
If
you do not have a public.www folder, please call the Support
Desk at 256-4400.
