How to Navigate:
Once connected to the application server, you have two different but separate environments to work in. You have your local computer and you have the application server terminal.
At this time, the two do not interact. You can copy & paste between your local environment and the application server environment.
Your My Documents Folder and mapped u:\drive are available through your application server environment.
If you experience any problems with the application server, please email help@coe.tamu.edu with a full description of the problem.
