Connecting to the Webstaging server

The web pages you maintain are stored on a remote server rather than your local H:space so before you can start editing your pages on the Webstaging server you will need to establish a connection.

To connect to the Webstaging server:

  1. Double-click the computer icon on your Desktop

  2. From the toolbar, select Tools then Map Network Drive

  3. When the Map Network Drive window appears, click on the drop-down list under Drive and select any free drive letter, the further down the alphabet the better.  Don't choose drive U as this is reserved for your personal web space.

  1. In the Folder box, enter the location of your departmental pages on the Webstaging server (this address will be emailed to you)

  2. Ensure that the 'Reconnect at logon' option is selected so that the computer remembers the connection the next time you logon.

  3. Click Finish

Once successfully mapped, a window will open showing the contents of the mapped folder. Close both this window and the Map Network Drive window.
