ARCHIVED: Siteshare at IU (Retired)

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Note:

Siteshare will not be available on Sitehost. To access your account on Sitehost, you will need to use SSH or SFTP. To learn more about the options for connecting to the Sitehost servers, see Connect to the Sitehost servers.

At Indiana University, Siteshare provides an alternative method of accessing your Webserve account by permitting you to map a network drive to the account. When you map a drive to your account, it will appear as if the account were stored locally on your computer. This permits you to drag and drop files between your computer and your account, and to work with these files in the same manner you do with other files on your computer.

Notes:

Siteshare will only connect to your Webserve account.
Webtest and MySQL servers are not available through Siteshare.
Siteshare does not give access to the command line interface.

As with any method of accessing your Webserve account, if you are not connected to the IU network, you will need to establish a VPN connection before using Siteshare.
