Windows XP
Connecting to Lucy
Web publishing on the UW-Eau Claire Web is done through Lucy, a network web server. Three types of websites make up the UW-Eau Claire Web: department/office, curricular, and student organization sites. These sites are stored on the Lucy server. You can edit your web account from any networked computer on campus, but only if you have permission to do so. For more information on web publishing, refer to The UWEC Web Publishing Process on the UW-Eau Claire Web.
These instructions show you how to use Windows XP to connect to Lucy on drive L:. Depending on your needs, you may need to connect to other network drives as well. For information on how to do this, refer to Connecting to Network Drives.
In order to access the web server, you must connect to it. Windows refers to this as mapping a network drive.
