Using SMB/CIFS for Windows client

Attention: To access data served by SDS@hd via CIFS, You need a Service Password. Please set your Service Password under following site: https://bwservices.uni-heidelberg.de.

You can use a CIFS share from a Microsoft operating system.

Adopting Universal Naming Convention (UNC) syntax

Use Windows Explorer entering the path to the share in UNC syntax:

Examples:

\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de 
or
\\lsdf02.urz.uni-heidelberg.de\<sv-acronym>

Following the input of the UNC path, a window will pop up:
Loginname: BWSERVICESAD\hd_xy123
Password: Service Password

Following authentication a new window pops up, showing the content of the share. You can now manipulate your files as accustomed.

Creation of a network (pseudo) drive with Windows Explorer

To connect to a network share in Windows Explorer select the control field
Select a drive letter to be associated with the network share and enter the network path (e.g. \\lsdf02export.urz.uni-heidelberg.de). Select ‘use a different identification‘, as these differ from your credential used locally.

Username: BWSERVICESAD\hd_xy123
Password: Service Password
