Accessing My Documents Folder via VPN

This will replace the old way of accessing My Documents using https//folders.uwc.edu, which is no longer working. In order to access your campus My Documents folder off campus, you must follow the directions below to set up the connection properly. (Please note that you will lose the Internet connection to the outside world when you are using VPN. So disconnect VPN connection after use.)

Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > double-click on Network Connections.
Click “Create a New Connection” from the Network Tasks.

Name your connection, ex. UWFox VPN.

Type vpn.uwc.edu in the box.

Check off “Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop”. Then click Finish.

When finish, the VPN connection screen will pop up like the one shown below. Enter your username and password. Make sure to check off “Save this username and password for the following users: Me only”. Click Connect.

Go to My computer > go to Tools menu > select Map Network Drive…

Select S: (s for school) drive from the drop-down list > enter \\foxnt1.uwc.edu\userfiles\evelyn.li in the Folder: box. Replace “evelyn.li” with your own username.

Check off “Reconnect at logon” and click Finish button.

If you want to connect to a different network drive, such as J: or N:, just map different drives as you would for S:.

From now on, if you want to access to My Documents from home, go to My Computer > select S: (or any other drive) from the list.

Disconnect the VPN after you are done. To disconnect, right-click on the VPN icon from lower right task bar then select Disconnect from the list.
