How to access monolith




Copied from http://monolith.st.hmc.edu/

All of this is only available from a 134.173.* IP (Claremont Colleges).
Using the Claremont Colleges VPN (https://vpn.claremont.edu/) should work.

HTTP




Read-only access is available via HTTP.
Follow the links in the HTTP section of

http://monolith.st.hmc.edu/

SMB




Read/write access is available over SMB, so long as you're ethernet or Claremont-WPA.

* On mac, connect to smb://monolith.st.hmc.edu/ (via that link or cmd+K in finder).
* On linux, install cifs-utils, and mount \\monolith.st.hmc.edu\Storage or \\monolith.st.hmc.edu\Upload.
* On Windows < 10, just put \\monolith.st.hmc.edu in the address bar of Windows Explorer.
* On Windows 10, SMB access just doesn't work. Sorry.

WebDAV




Read/write access should also be available over WebDAV from any claremont colleges IP, although it doesn't work very well.
In theory, upload should be writable, although in practice that doesn't seem to work very well. If possible, use SMB instead.
Currently the only reason to use WebDAV is to stream things on Windows 10, as SMB is better on all other OSes and writing doesn't work yet on Windows.

Connect to http://monolith.st.hmc.edu/storage or http://monolith.st.hmc.edu/upload

* On mac, open the "connect to server" dialog by opening Finder and pressing Cmd+K, then paste in the address above and click "connect".\ You may run into issues viewing large files; if possible, prefer SMB.
* On linux, install davfs (or davfs2) and run "mount -t davfs address mountpoint". (Enter a blank username and password if prompted). For the address, choose one of the addresses listed above. The mountpoint should be an empty folder.
* On windows, right click "Network" -> Map Network Drive. Click "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures" -> Next -> "Choose a custom network location", then enter in the address (above). Click "Next" -> enter a name -> "Next" -> "Finish" and you should be connected. To make it work well, however, you need to set the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet?\Services\WebClient?\Parameters" -> "FileSizeLimitInBytes?" to "ffffffff" and restart "WebClient?" (in Task Manager) in order to work with files over 50MB (most videos).
