Your SGD Administrator configures whether you can access the drives on your computer from applications running through SGD.
If you are using a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X platform computer, by
default your home directory is mapped to a drive called "My
Home". But you can configure the drives you want to use with
applications. This is done by editing your client configuration
file, $HOME/.tarantella/native-cdm-config
.
This file is automatically created when the SGD Client is
installed. The file contains detailed instructions on how to
create mapped drives.
The configuration file contains entries of the form
<path>
<type>
<label>
, where:
<path>
is the absolute path name of the
client file system
<type>
is either unknown, fixed, floppy,
cdrom, or remote
<label>
is the name used in the
application session
Use a separate line for each drive and separate each of the fields
with a space or a tab. If either the <path>
or the <label>
fields contains spaces or
tabs, enclose the field in quotes.
You can use environment variables in the
<path>
or <label>
fields. You delimit these with a dollar sign ($). To use a literal
$, escape it with another $.
The following is an example configuration file.
[CDM] $HOME$ fixed "My Home" /tmp/$USER$ fixed Temp "/mnt/win/My Documents" fixed "My Local Documents" [/CDM]
Changes to the configuration file only take effect when you log out and then log in to SGD.
The access rights for a mapped client drive are shown in brackets
after the drive name: (rw)
means read-write
access, (ro)
means read only access.
If you attach a removable drive such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory stick while using SGD, the device is detected automatically and made available to you.
To use a removable drive, your SGD Administrator must enable support for removable drives.
On UNIX and Linux platform client devices, if the removable
drive is not detected automatically, the locations listed in the
[DYNAMICSTORAGE]
section of the
$HOME/.tarantella/native-cdm-config
configuration file are monitored for removable devices.
Depending on the client platform, the following default system
locations are listed in the [DYNAMICSTORAGE]
section of this file.
Client Platform | Default Location | Type |
---|---|---|
Linux |
|
|
Oracle Solaris |
|
|
Sun Ray |
|
|
Mac OS X |
|
|
If your removable drive uses a different location, add one or
more entries to the [DYNAMICSTORAGE]
section.
For example, the following entry causes SGD to monitor the
/opt
directory for removable drives, in
addition to the default location for the client platform.
[DYNAMICSTORAGE] ... /opt removable [/DYNAMICSTORAGE]
