General Support: Network File Access
All JBU students, faculty and staff are given network storage space as a part of their JBU network account. For on-campus computers the network drive is called (M). By default all lab computers and office computers are set to save to that location. Any on-campus computer will give you access to those files.
You can also access these files via file transfer protocol (FTP) from JBU residence halls and off-campus locations. Click on the links below for specific instructions:
