Connecting to SWEB/Locker from a Mac
The Student Locker system was merged
with the Student Web Server (SWEB) in January 2008. The new name for this
service is NetBlue. This document provides instructions on how to access
personal files on the NetBlue server.
There are three basic ways to connect to
your NetBlue account from a Macintosh:
- Web Browser
You can upload and download files to your NetBlue account via a web browser
using the Web File Manager.
Log in with your link
blue user ID and password. Although other browsers
may work, we recommend using Safari or FireFox.
- SFTP Access
For point-and-click SFTP access, use Fetch or Fugu.
For command line access, use Terminal.
Connection instructions can be found on our [[remote
connections]] page.
- AFP Access
To connect directly to the NetBlue server via AFP, select "Connect to Server"
from the Go menu in the Finder menubar. Type "afp://locker.uky.edu" in
the Server Address field and click Connect. You will be prompted to enter
your link blue user
ID and password. You will then be asked to select the volumes to mount;
highlight your userID and click OK. Your NetBlue folder will appear as
a shared volume on your desktop that you can access like any other mounted
drive.
