File and Web Services
ITECS provides file storage and web space to engineering students, faculty and staff free of charge. This allocated space, called a "locker," resides in the campus AFS system so you can access it from virtually anywhere via its AFS path, starting at /afs/eos/ on *nix computers and J:\eos\ on Windows computers.
File Storage
- Get Administration or Research file space (/afs/eos/lockers/admin/dept/locker/ or /afs/eos/lockers/research/dept/locker/)
- Get Course Workspace (/afs/eos/lockers/workspace/dept/course/section/locker/)
Only engineering faculty and staff can request and own Administrative and Research lockers. Faculty can also request Course Workspace lockers to get additional quota for their students to use in class.
Note: No web delivery is available from administrative, research and course workspace lockers.
What about Web Sites?
- Get Web Space (/afs/eos/engrwww/vhost/sites/locker/)
Web lockers provide space for the web sites of student organizations, departments, administration, and research. All web sites must be organized under one of our hosted domains. Course web space is handled through Wolfware and other Learning Management Systems, although faculty can serve web content for classes from personal web space (see below).
Note: Webmasters request web lockers for faculty, staff and student organizations. Individual web sites are delivered from personal lockers.
Personal File and Web Space
- Get Personal file and web space (/afs/eos/lockers/people/a-z/unityid/)
Engineering students, faculty and staff can request and own personal lockers, which are composed of two internal lockers:
private for non-web AFS file space (/afs/eos/lockers/people/a-z/unityid/private/) to supplement what a user gets in his/her Unity account at /afs/unity/users/a-z/unityid/. Nothing from private is served to the web.
www for a user web site (/afs/eos/lockers/people/a-z/unityid/www/) delivered from http://people.engr.ncsu.edu/unityid/, including dynamic PHP-enabled web hosting and optional MySQL database.
Locker Details
- Storage and web locker volumes are limited to 2GB, but additional volumes can be added.
- We back up your files every night up to 28 days.
- You can also get more file space and build a web site in your Unity account.
