SFB 1102 Storage

Web interface

The web interface offers an easy method for file access, account configuration and file sharing.

• https://www.hidrive.strato.com

• The "public" folder is readable and writable by everybody.
• The "user" folder is readable and writable only by you and nobody else, unless you explicitly share a file or folder.
• If you wish to exchange data with other people, please see "File Sharing" below.

Advanced access

For advanced features such as group access it is helpful to use a graphical SSH client such as Filezilla, which is available for all platforms.

• SSH server name:

  sftp.hidrive.strato.com

• You may open multiple Filezilla windows, one for your user account and one for each group account you intend to use.

• To make logins more comfortable you may generate and upload an SSH-key to your account via the Web interface (see above) -> Einstellungen -> Kontoverwaltung -> Open SSH Schluessel.

• Please find information on how to create an SSH-key pair here.

Expert access

You may access the storage using advanced access methods like command line scp, sshfs or rsync/ssh. Please see here.

Individual file sharing

If you wish to give read access of your folders/files to individual users who do not share a group account with you, e.g. students or external project partners, you may do this as follows:

• Open the web interface (see above).
• Browse to the file/folder you wish to share, right click and select "Freigben und teilen".
• You may set a password and/or a validity period.

If you wish to give write access of a folder to individual users who do not share a group account with you, e.g. students or external project partners, you may do this as follows:

• Open the web interface (see above).
• Browse to the folder you wish to receive files in, right click and select "Upload einstellen".
• You may set a password and/or a validity period.
• This method is particularly useful for homework submissions, possibly with a deadline.

You may share the same folder for read and write access to freely exchange files with other users.

You may also receive files sent to you via email attachment as a mail upload as follows:

• Open the web interface (see above).
• Browse to the folder you wish to receive files in, right click and select "Mailupload einstellen".
• You may select oen subfolder per sender and a security code for the email address.
• This method is particularly useful for homework submissions, possibly with a deadline or any other kind of purposes, e.g. automatic file generation/reception, i.e. a cron job may send a result file which is automagically saved in your storage folder.

You may find an overview of all your sharing settings in the top row of the web interface file browser in the "Freigabe" menu.
