To access directories on the “Dragon” file server you will need to map a drive (windows) or mount a volume (mac) on your computer. If you are not on the Wesleyan network you need to first establish a VPN connection.

1. Connect to the VPN Please follow the link relevant to your operating system from

2. Connect/Map to Dragon on your MAC or PC

 

Share access:

Dragon share access is granted through the Grouper Access Management web application, available in the Security bucket in WesPortal.
Grouper: How to Add and Remove Members

For designated employees (share owners) who control share access:

• Members: Wesleyan:app:Dragon:Share:Members
• Owners: Wesleyan:app:Dragon:Share:Owners
  
  • Owners have permissions to add/remove members to both the Members and Owners groups. Employees may add their colleagues as other Owners to assist with managing the Members list access.

ITS creates Members groups based on the configured permissions for each share.

Please contact ITS if the designated share owners are unknown.

Instructions

The following example uses the "Courses" share on Dragon (\\dragon\courses). 

For Mac

1. Click/be in Finder

2. From the Finder bar, select Go > Connect to server

3. Under “Server Address,” type smb://dragon/courses

4. Click the plus sign to the right of the server address field. This adds the path to the “Favorite Servers list. Next time you’ll highlight the address and won’t have to enter it.

5. Click Connect. Enter your Wesleyan username and password.

6. From your finder now  you can drill down to any of the directories you want to access

For PC (Windows)

1. Right-click the Computer/My Computer/This Computer/This PC icon (from your desktop, Start menu or in a Windows Explorer window)

2. Select map network drive.

3. In the Drive field, select P:  Note: If P: is not available, you can select another letter but P is preferred so that the assignment is consistent with what you see on lab machines and MyApps.

4. In the Folder field, type: \\dragon\courses\

5.  You may want to Check the “Reconnect at login” box – or repeat these steps next time you want to access dragon

6. Check the “Connect Using Different Credentials” box.

7. Click the Finish button.

8. At the prompt, enter your Wesleyan username and password (you will need to type wesleyan\yourusername in the username field). You’ll see the P: drive when you double-click/open the computer icon  and you can select the appropriate folder i.e. QAC\Apprenticeship. To connect in the future, just double-click the drive to access it (assuming you’re either on campus, or already connected via VPN and you have checked “Reconnect at login” ).
