UAS Home

The UASHome system is a personal filespace that each student, staff and faculty receive with their computer accounts. All accounts start with 150Mb of space. This can be increased if there is suitable academic need. It is separated into 2 sub-folders: Docs and Web. 

Docs

These files are available from the UAS Windows computers under the folder "UASHOME", connected as the Z: drive by default. These are files that only you can access, and require authentication to access (FTP, or connecting from a campus computer).

Web

The web folder can be viewed online immediately, and is an easy way to share files. If you store documents only, the files will be listed with an auto-index of the directory contents. If you have uploaded html files (your own website, for instance), those will be available too.

• Once items have been added to your Web folder of the UASHome space, they can be viewed online
• Within your browser of choice, simply visit http://uashome.alaska.edu/~username (replace username with your campus username)
• In the case that you have a sub-folder, you can simply include that in the URL: http://uashome.alaska.edu/~username/subfolder/
