Access Project Data Storage

This post describes how to access the Project Data Storage on your computer and how to access it outside of the TU Delft network.

Please see the Storage Solution post to learn how to request a Project Data Storage.

Project Data Storage location on your computer

The Project Data Storage is on ‘This PC’, the same location as your home drive:

U: or \\tudelft.net\staff-umbrella\ (Windows) or /tudelft.net/staff-umbrella/ (Linux servers) or sftp.tudelft.nl:/staff-umbrella/

You can check the Project Data Storages that you have access to via webdrive: https://webdata.tudelft.nl/staff-umbrella/

Access Project Data Storage outside TU Delft

Sign into EduVPN.

Windows

Install WebDrive and open it. Click on sftp.tudelft.nl. Click on staff-umbrella (this is the Project Data Storage). External employees/students have to use FileZilla.

Mac

You can try to use WebDrive as described for Windows. If this does not work: In the Finder, type ⌘K or choose Go > Connect to Server; enter server address(smb://tudelft.net/staff-umbrella/) and click ‘Connect’. (Add the address to your ‘Favorite Servers’ list to easily connect later)

Alternatively, users can connect via sftp:

- The terminal: sftp yournetid@sftp.tudelft.nl - cd staff-umbrella

- An ftp client such as FileZilla or CyberDuck.

Linux

If Ubuntu or CentOS installed by ICT:

• Terminal: cd /tudelft.nl/staff-umbrella /project

• File manager (nautilus or dolphin): Other locations -> Computer -> tudelft.net -> staff-umbrella -> project

If Linux installed by user:

• Terminal: sshfs <NetID>@sftp.tudelft.nl: target_mount_point

  • OR: sftp netid@sftp.tudelft.nl - cd staff-umbrella (mainly for file transfer instead of working)

• Filemanager: Other locations -> Connect to server -> sftp://sftp.tudelft.nl/staff-umbrella -> project -> Login when needed with your netid and password
