Share Information
Every individual (faculty, staff and students)
is automatically granted an EdShare account for their personal
use. Each department of the university also has a shared space
that is for that department. Cost Center Managers and Deans are
responsible for maintaining department shares. If you wish to setup
a special directory or "share" for
a class or for a cross departmental committee you may do so. These
shares may only be created by faculty or staff, but students may
be added to the shares.
Special shares have the following characteristics:
- The share name is proceeded by s_
- Any currently enrolled student or employed faculty or staff
may be added to a share
- Shares may only be added or maintained by faculty or staff
Accessing a Share from Off Campus for Staff
Windows | Macintosh OS X
To access EdShare from off campus you must FTP to the server
using your SEU login information. This should be the same as
your EdWeb login name and password.
You must have an FTP client installed to access EdShare from
your home computer. We recommend using a Secure FTP program (Example:
WinSCP for PC). Call 448-8443 for download instructions.
How to setup FTP to EdShare using WinSCP (PC):
- Open WinSCP. It should be located under Start > Programs > SEU
Network Applications, or under Start > Programs > WinSCP.
- Select Stored sessions, and click on New.
- For the Host name enter edshare.stedwards.edu,
and leave the port number as 22.
- Enter your user name and password. * If this computer is
used by more than one person, you may not want to enter your
login name and password. This information will be stored and
others can login to your account.
- Select SCP at the bottom.
When complete, the window should look like this:
- Click on Save. You will be prompted to enter
a session name. Use the default, or enter a name and click OK.
How to login with a Stored Session using WinSCP (PC):
- Open WinSCP. Should be located under Start > Programs > SEU
Network Applications, or under Start > Programs >WinSCP.
- Double click on the name of the Stored Session (Example:
Edshare.stedwards.edu), and enter your login information if
prompted. This will log you into your EdShare home folder.
- Your files in your Home folder on EdShare (/seu/staff/home/loginname)
will be on the Right side of the screen. Files on your local
computer's hard drive will be on the left.
- You may drag files or folders from one side to the other
to move files from your local computer to EdShare.
