Using a Windows Share
Your website root directory is available as a Windows shared folder, alternatively called an SMB share. To access the folder use the address \\sdwebfiles.ece.iastate.edu within Windows File Explorer and navigate to the folder with the same name as your group. If you are logged into Windows with your ISU username you will not need to enter your password. If you are prompted for a username and password use your ISU email address and password. The full path will be \\sdwebfiles.ece.iastate.edu\sdsites\teamname (e.g. \\sdwebfiles.ece.iastate.edu\sdsites\sdmay88-99)
For example:
Within the folder will be two folders, one hidden by default. The www folder is you website root directory, this is where your web files reside. For Dec23 teams and older, a hidden folder called php also exists. Do not modify files within the php folder.
