Manage datasets

If you are a user in the lab and have indicated to the lab administration that you need storage space, you will get a project folder on the humlab server to manage datasets. You can find a instructions on how to connect to your project folder below.

Connect to server from outside the lab

The humlab file server is intended to provide research projects with disk storage and group-level access to datasets that are recorded in the lab. You will need your project id that was mailed to you when registering a project in the lab and your Lucat credentials.

• Wired connections on LU premises: these should work without any special configuration.
• Wireless connections on LU premises: make sure you are connected to the eduroam wireless network.
• Connections outside LU premises: before connecting to your folder, you need to first set up and start a VPN client.
• Set up VPN:
  • Go to IT suppport at http://support.lu.se
  • Search for “VPN”

Connecting to your project folder:

• Connect from Windows:
  • Click on the Start menu.
  • In the search bar enter \\uw.lu.se\group\humlab\projects\<project id> (e.g. \\uw.lu.se\group\humlab\projects\1234-01)

  • Prefix your Lucat ID with uw\, e.g. uw\aaaa-bbb, or uw\ab1234cd.

     

• Connect from macOS:
  • In Finder, under the “Go” menu, select “Connect to server”.
  • In the URL field enter smb://uw.lu.se/group/humlab/projects/<project id> (e.g. smb://uw.lu.se/group/humlab/projects/1234-01).

  • Enter you Lucat ID as is, e.g. aaaa-bbb or ab1234cd

     

Connect to server from inside the lab

IMPORTANT: Instructions below only relate to the smaller experiment rooms behind the inner, second double-door entrance (EEG, Biopac etc). In the digital classroom, just outside that inner entrance (the larger room with multiple eye-tracking setups) you should connect to your project folder using the instructions above, as if you were outside the lab.

The recording- and stimuluscomputers connected to dedicated equipment inside the lab are particularly sensitive. Ensure you know how to manage your data during experiments:

• Each room has its own isolated network with no internet access that can only be used for connecting to your project folder.
• Recording- and stimuluscomputers are already connected to the isolated network present in that room.
• It is forbidden to connect any of these computers to the general network.
• It is forbidden to connect USB-sticks or external harddrives to these computers.

To transfer stimulusfiles to stimulus computers and to collect recorded data from recording computers:

• On the Windows desktop double-click the script “Connect to project folder”
• When prompted, enter your project ID (e.g. 1234-12) and Lucat credentials (e.g. aaaa-bbb, or ab1234cd)
• When done, you can find your project folder in Explorer mapped to H:.

If the login script doesn't work or is missing please contact us. It is still possible to connect to your folder: On a Windows computer enter \\uw.lu.se\group\humlab\projects\<project id> (e.g. \\uw.lu.se\group\humlab\projects\1234-01) in the "Search programs and files" field in the startmenu. Log in with the lucat credentials, and prefix your Lucat ID with uw\ (e.g. uw\aaaa-bbb, or uw\ab1234cd. For mac setups, choose "Connect to server" from the Go-menu in Finder. Enter smb://uw.lu.se/group/humlab/projects/<project id> (e.g. \\uw.lu.se\group\humlab\projects\1234-01) in the address field. Prefix your Lucat ID with uw\ (e.g. uw\aaaa-bbb, or uw\ab1234cd).

Please contact Jens Larsson if you have any difficulties to connect to the file shares, or if you have any questions or suggestions about the file server!
