Lightning

Lightning is a PhilaU shared academic folder server. Folders and files are stored on this server and can be accessed by fellow students, faculty and staff.

2. Click on the "Start" button, and then "Run."

3. Without quotes, type in the address bar "\\lightning", then click "OK."

4. If asked for your user name and password, type your username as follows: Student\(your user name) for students, or Philacol\(your user name) for faculty and staff.
