Windows Web Publishing

Windows users can connect to the web server using Windows networking. This action will make your web space appear as a drive on your personal computer. This way, you can copy+paste files and folders to and from the web server,  or edit them directly on the server, just as you do for other drives on your system.This article explains how to connect to the web server on a windows machine.

1. Open File Explorer

2. Right Click on This PC and select Map Network Drive...

3. In the Folder field, type "\\canopus-fs.hamilton.edu\{Server Name}\{Folder Name}" and click Finish.
