To be able to connect to your UiB home directory as a network disk, you need a working UiB VPN.

Employees

To connect to your home directory you need to know the following:

  • Your UiB username and your password.
  • The name of the server where your Unix home directory is stored. (Typically named after a train station along the Bergen-Oslo line. Examples: finse, ustaoset and voss) See step 2 for instructions.
  • The name of the server and the folder where your Windows home directory is stored. Server examples: skuld and platon. Folder examples: home and home2. See step 3 for instructions.


  1. In Finder: Go -> Connect to Server, or use the key combination cmd + k.

  2. Type in cifs://uib;username@ and then the path to your Unix home folder. It should be on the form servername.uib.no/username. Click Connect. NB! There should be no spaces.

  3. Type in cifs://uib;username@ and then the path to your Windows home folder. It should be on the form servername.uib.no/foldername/username. Click Connect. NB! There should be no spaces.

NB! For step 2, 3 and 4 please remember:
 The word username must be replaced with your own username.
The word servername must be replaced with the name of the server that contains yout home folder.
The word foldername must be replaced with the name of the folder on the given server where your home folder can be found. Some home folders are placed directly on the server

Here is an example:
cifs://uib;st11446@skuld.uib.no/home/st11446

The username is st11446.
The servername is Skuld.
The foldername is home.

Here is an other example:
cifs://uib;st11446@ustaoset.uib.no/st11446

The username is st11446.
The servername is Ustaoset.
There is no foldername to be entered.
