UB File Service (UBfs)

Accessing UBfs from Windows XP

• If you are connecting using UBWireless or an ISP from home, you must use UBVPN.
• If you have not changed your UBITName password since November 2003, you must change it to access Myfiles in UBfs.
• If you are in an area where you cannot map a drive to UBfs, such as in ResNet, create web folders using WebDAV for Windows XP or for Windows Vista.
• Workstations in public labs have drives mapped for UBfs.

Map to a drive to Myfiles on UBfs

1. From My Computer, choose Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.
2. Use the drive letter pre-selected or choose an unmapped drive letter.
3. Enter the UBfs folder:

   \\itorg.ad.buffalo.edu\ubfs\myfiles\1st_letter_ubitname\2nd_letter_ubitname\UBITName

   or specifically, your Myfiles folder.

If your UBITName is jdoe enter:

\\itorg.ad.buffalo.edu\ubfs\myfiles\j\d\jdoe\

When prompted for a username, prefix your UBITName with ad\. For instance:

ad\jdoe 

Map a drive to Collab space on UBfs

Using the directions above for Myfiles space, map another drive to

\\itorg.ad.buffalo.edu\ubfs\collab
