Mounting Leif over SMB¶
Shared with the CNT
This procedure runs on infrastructure the lab and the CNT operate together. The CNT manual keeps its own copy; changes to the shared steps are agreed with the CNT.
What this page tells you
To mount Leif: connect to Global Protect VPN, then Mac Go > Connect to Server smb://leif.seas.upenn.edu or Windows Map Network Drive \leif.seas.upenn.edu, sign in with PennKey plus SEAS Local Password (set first at accounts.seas.upenn.edu/passwd), and pick volumes.
Leif is the file store for the SEAS servers. You mount it as a network share from your own computer, over the University VPN when you are not on AirPennNet, and sign in with your PennKey and your SEAS Local Password.
