Welcome to FCNet Support Service at Fullerton College

Staff Accounts

Fullerton College Academic Computing Technologies provides FCNet accounts for faculty and staff members. Hourly employees may obtain hourly staff accounts. Without an account, you will not have access to applications running on the server.

An account will be created for each faculty or staff member who fills out a Network Account Request Form and is approved by their Division/Department. Please allow three working days for your account to be created.

Once your account has been created, you will receive your login identification and password through the campus mail. The first time you login to the network, use the password you have been assigned. Please change your password immediately. The new password should be an alphanumeric word containing at least 6 characters with no spaces. Memorize this new password as it is impossible to retrieve a lost password. It is important that you logout each time you are finished using the computer; otherwise someone else will have access to your account.

Staff accounts are allotted 500 megabytes of data space on their H: drive, 100 megabytes on their S: drive, and 200 megabytes of mail space on the server. Your files should be saved in your home directory (H:\. If you will be accessing files from a student lab or classroom, use the S: drive. Files saved in any other directory will be purged regularly. Any files on the web drive (W:\) can be accessed from the World Wide Web using the HTTP://STAFFWWW.FULLCOLL.EDU/[LOGING NAME] reference. (Replace LOGIN NAME with your first initial and last name with no spaces.) Your default home page should be named INDEX.HTM.

To activate your web space, point your browser to www.fullcoll.edu, click on MyFC login, and login at the right of the page. Click on the Print/Web tab (you may have to scroll to the right to see this), and then click on Create My Webspace. Please wait while the system processes your request. Account holders electing to use FrontPage* as their web authoring toll should select Open Existing Web instead of Create New Web when creating or editing their pages.

*Please Note: If you have used Microsoft FrontPage to create your FCNet Web site you should not manually access this site via FTP, or manual disk access via your W: drive letter. Due to the unique way that Front Page formats the user data in your Web Site, manually over writing files that you are currently using in your FrontPage Web Site via FTP or the W: drive letter could cause your FrontPage project to become corrupted.

Staff accounts will be deleted when you are no longer employed by the college.

Please note: Staff members who are enrolled in a class at Fullerton College should establish a student account for use while doing class work.

Notice to all faculty using campus servers in the classroom: On July 25th, 2001 one of the final steps in the network security configuration took place. This involved moving the logical location of the staff server. The staff server is NOT accessible from "student" locations (e.g. classrooms/labs). While staff locations (e.g. offices) have access to both staff and student servers, student locations are only able to access the student servers. A faculty member who has material stored on the staff server will not be able to access that material from a classroom. To access the material from a classroom the faculty member can be provided space on the student server with the appropriate security. You will still use your staff account to access this space. No account changes are required. If you are affected by this transition please call ACT to make arrangements to obtain space on the student server. Keep in mind that both servers are accessible to faculty and staff from their offices and other staff locations. The only restriction is accessing the staff server from student locations.
