Using files with terminal server.

You cannot use your floppy disk drive or your local hard drive directly from terminal server. Instead, you must save the file on a network drive. The best location is probably your user folder.

You have to tell terminal server the network name of your user folder. Do this once and your computer will remember from that moment forward.

Connect to terminal server and click on the MY COMPUTER icon. This will bring up a folder labeled My Computer (see below).

From the menu, select Tools | Map Network Drive. This will bring up the Map Network Drive dialog box (see below).

You need to assign a drive letter to the location of your network files. It would be best to set the drive letter to V:, but you can use a different letter if you like. Then type in the name of your folder. For me, it would be \\cmhsan08\users\ssimon.

After you have saved to the network, you can copy the file to a floppy disk or a local hard drive.

How do I open files in SPSS terminal server?

You can only open files located on the network. Before you connect to terminal server, copy the file from your floppy disk to a location on the network.

How do I use the training example data sets?

Training example data sets appear on a folder on the desktop as the SPSS Examples folder. Double click on this folder to open it. You can also find this folder on the D drive at D:\SPSS Examples.
