To help students with file management, Information Technology Systems has created a file server for student and student organization use. The server, named" TIMMY" has many advantages!

• Allows students to store up to 20mb of data (about 14 floppy disks)
• Secure - You will be able to see other student folders, but YOU are the only one that can access YOUR files
• Backed up nightly

Note:  TIMMY folders are created automatically for all students.  Student Organizations need to request a folder through Larissa LaCour in Campus Activities. 

If you can't access your TIMMY folder, please contact the Technology Assistance Center.

Accessing Individual File Folders on TIMMY

Using MAC OSX

• In Finder, click the "Go" menu, and choose "Connect  to Server"
• Type "smb://timmy.uncw.edu" (no quotes) in the address bar, and then hit "Connect"
• Input your email username and password when prompted
  
  
  
• Click "OK"
  
  Note: It is recommended that you do not save your password as they expire every 90-days (may cause problems after expiration).
  
• Once you are connected, you will see a window with all student Timmy folders.  Find your personal folder, and open it. 
• You will then be able to copy the files to your local computer to work on them and then copy them back up to Timmy AFTER saving - it's THAT easy!

Note: You cannot edit folders directly on TIMMY.
