Each student, faculty and staff member receives 125 MB of Highlander AFS disk space, often referred to as the "H-drive". Additional space is available for course projects and research.

To access this H-drive from an on-campus Windows-based NJIT Domain (academic/ or njitdm/) computer, simply log into your account and open "My Computer".  To access this storage space from an off-campus computer, you must use SSH Secure Shell (to download and install SSH, you must use VPN) or OpenAFS.

Note about Web Hosting: Your H-drive contains a folder titled "public_html". This folder is the location f your personal webspace on AFS. For more information about webhosting at NJIT, click here.

Your disk space is backed up daily. A personal online backup of your files as of the previous day is automatically available. A directory named BACKUP.<username>.mm-dd-hh-MM will be located in your home directory containing the previous day's files.

Instructions on using OpenAFS to create and "H-drive" on machines off-campus, or not on the NJIT Domain can be found here.
