Connecting to ETC

Think of the ETC folder as your "virtual" file storage space. You will use it for saving all of your technology projects. Using the ETC folder to save files is very similar to using a disk, but the best part is that you can access the files that you save on ETC from any computer in the COE lab or even on campus!

To use the ETC folder you will need to create a connection to it, here is how:

  1. Click on the Apple Menu in the upper left-hand corner of the computer screen and select Chooser.

  2. Click the Apple Share icon on the left and then choose COE2 from the Select a file server: list on the right.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Select the Registered User radio button.

  5. Type the username (it will be provided by the trainers) in the Name: field.

  6. Type the password (it will be provided by the trainers) in the Password: field.

  7. Click Connect.

  8. In the Select the items you want to use: dialog box, select etc by clicking on it (DO NOT click the checkbox next to it).

  9. Click OK.

  10. Close the Chooser by choosing Quit from the File Menu. There will now be an icon for the ETC folder on COE2 on your desktop.

  11. Double click the icon for the ETC folder to open it.
