How to make a link to /p in your home directory

  1. Open a Terminal on a Mac, or ssh into slate
  2. If you aren't in your home directory cd ~

  3. ln -s /p p

This makes a symbolic link called p in the current directory to /p

How to mount /p as a drive in Windows

In Windows Explorer:

  1. Tools -> Map Network Drive...

  2. Pick a drive letter. (P: works nicely)

  3. For the folder, enter \\slate.hlp.rochester.edu\p

  4. Click Finish

This only works if you are on one of the PCs in the lab or your laptop is connected to the hlpwireless access point.
