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 UW-Eau Claire Web Publishing Process.

These instructions show you how to use OS X to connect to Lucy on drive L. Depending on your needs, you may need to connect to other network drives in addition to Lucy. This is referred to as mapping a network drive. For information on how to do this, refer to Connecting to Network Drives.
