Did you ever try my suggestion below, using the UNC? In addition, I did some testing of ftp and found that Word can indeed open files from AFS via ftp and then save them back to AFS, just by using the "ftp://..." syntax in Word's Open dialog. I did have trouble getting it to open directly to my own folder; it wouldn't accept the full "ftp:[log in to unmask]" form of the address and when I used "ftp://afs.msu.edu" it opened to the root. You can let it open to the root and then browse from there to your private space, or you can just use the form ftp://afs.msu.edu/msu/user/n/e/netid to get to it directly. Either this or the UNC method should take care of your students. >Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 14:52:39 -0400 >To: [log in to unmask] >From: Chris Wolf <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Group Policy and mapping to AFS space question > >How about File, Open, \\afs\homes, Type in ID and password, and then select file to open.
