Accessing H:space using Mac OS X 10.2 or above
 

If you are off campus, please ensure that you have connected to the LSE VPN server first.

You may like to try the Remote Desktop as an alternative.

1. Log on to a School computer
2. Double click the My Computer icon. 
3. Make a note of your H: space server and H: space folder, e.g. server3 and folder F_users
4. Connect your Mac laptop to a laptop plug-in point.
5. Using your Internet browser, log on to the LSE network by opening the LSE website at  http://www.lse.ac.uk .
6. From the 'Go' menu on your Mac desktop select  'Connect to Server'.
7. In the Server Address text box, enter smb://st??.lse.ac.uk/?_users/yourusername  (where st?? is the H: space server you made a note of in School, ?_users is the H: space folder, and yourusername is your LSE username.)
  Connect to Server Menu
Note: You should click the 'Add to Favourites' button to avoid having to type in your H space address every time you wish to access your H space.
   
8. Click Connect.
