File sharing via the network enables the exchange of work between students and faculty and among members of departments, as long as those users have permission to access the files. There are several ways of sharing files across the network.

1. A simple way to share files with others is by attaching the file to an email message and sending it. Instructions for attaching files to email sent from WebMail, Mozilla/thunderbird or Netscape Messenger can be found in their respective Help files. You may also contact the HelpLine (at 5700) for instructions.
2. You can also share your files on a one-time basis with other Kenyon users by creating a folder under the P:\Temp\ folder, copying your file there, and notifying the receiver to retrieve it as quickly as possible. Important Note: The P:\Temp drive is NOT a secure storage area because anyone can edit or delete files that reside there. Files on P:\temp are deleted by the system one week after being placed there. Be sure to save a backup copy of your files before transferring to P:\Temp.
3. An entire academic or administrative department can share files on a regular basis through departmental folders on their departmental O: drive. Many departments also have workgroup folders set up there for special projects.
4. Faculty members can also share files with students in a class directory under P:\class\dept\coursename\...(read+write) or P:\data\dept\coursename\... (read-only).
