ICIQ shared folders

go back to Main Page, Computational Resources, Services, Shared Folders

There are ICIQ shared folders to share information within ICIQ. The comu folder is used to store information to share with all users. There is a group folder for each research group (Grup_Dr_Maseras, Grup_Dr_Bo and Grup_Dr_Lopez) and another folder for each user (username$).

See below how to access them according to your Operative system.

It will ask for:

Username => iciq/username (your username as in the e-mail)
domain =>  (delete it)
password => the same as for your e-mail.

Linux

1 You can see the content by typing in your preferred web browser:

The general
smb://iciqfs01.iciq.es/comu
For each group
smb://iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart/Grup_Dr_Maseras
smb://iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart/Grup_Dr_Bo
smb://iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart/Grup_Dr_Lopez
For each user (2GB Max. disk space):
smb://iciqfs01.iciq.es/username$

2 Within Linux we can use "smbclient" to access the shared folders in a ftp-like client mode.

For example:

smbclient  //iciqfs01.iciq.es/comu -U iciq/username

3 Moreover, we also can mount the shared folders on our pc. Firstly you need to get "smbfs" package, what will install in your system the CIFS filesystem (this is the sucessor of the SMB protocol). To install in Debian:

aptitude install smbfs

To mount an exported windows folder on a Linux box:

mount -t cifs -o username=iciq/username //iciqfs01.iciq.es/what_you_want_to_mount  /Where_you_want_to_mount_it
Examples:
User folder: mount -t cifs -o username=iciq/username //iciqfs01.iciq.es/username$  /home/username/disk
Common folder: mount -t cifs -o username=iciq/username //iciqfs01.iciq.es/comu  /home/username/disk1
Group folder: mount -t cifs -o username=iciq/username //iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart /home/username/disk2 
then look for your group inside the depart folder

or, you can edit the /etc/fstab file, adding the line:

//iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart       /home/username/disk2  cifs    uid=username,credentials=/etc/cifspw,domain=iciq  0       0 

It is necessary also to create the file /etc/cifspw with your username and password:

username=your_username
password=your_password

Then type "mount -a" and voilà.

• You will need to use root or sudo rights to mount these folders.

• The command above will mount the comu or username$ directory to the folders disk, disk1 and disk2 in your home. You can change that by another name or another directory (i.e. /media/ICIQ_COMU/). You should create the directories before trying to mount them.

• Most users are unable to mount //iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart/Grup_Dr_XX, but they are able to mount //iciqfs01.iciq.es/depart and have access to the directories of the grup from there.

• Some users need to type depart in capital letters, so try: mount -t cifs -o username=iciq/username //iciqfs01.iciq.es/DEPART /home/username/disk2

Windows

From windows, you don't need to use the samba. So, you just type in your preferred web browser:

\\iciqfs01.iciq.es\comu

\\iciqfs01.iciq.es\depart\Grup_Dr_Maseras
\\iciqfs01.iciq.es\depart\Grup_Dr_Bo
\\iciqfs01.iciq.es\depart\Grup_Dr_Lopez

\\iciqfs01.iciq.es\username$

BACKUPs

The user folders backups are made weekly and monthly. Being able to back down in the time a year more or less.

In order to recover information of backups is needed to generate a GIDIC.
