Special Note for Students Mapping to a Student Organization Web Site

Only one WMuserid may map (connect) to drives on a computer. Because a student org (SO) site requires it's own WMuserid to map its drive, students who have mapped both their H: drive and their student org's (SO) web site will need to do the following to access both drives:

1. Disconnect either your H: drive or SO drive on your computer.
2. Connect remotely to either your H: drive or SO site by using an sftp client (connect using webftp.wm.edu). Instructions for connecting remotely.

Still having trouble connecting?

Disable any firewall software and try connecting again.
