Connecting to the NHS Server (OSX1)

Connect to the New Hampton School Server (OSX1)
New Hampton School maintains a shared server (a very large hard drive) to save our files on. The name of this shared hard drive is 'OSX1.' While we are on campus we can access this shared hard drive.

OSX1 has the following advantages over saving files on our personal machines:
• Files are backed up
• Files are available anywhere on campus (from any computer connected to the network).
• Files may be saved in either a public folder or a private and secure one.
OSX1 has the following disadvantages:
• Files are not available if we are off campus
• There may be limits to file size on the server, large movie files for example may not be able to be stored on the server
