Connect to the Archive NAS
You must be connected from the EPFL network or through the EPFL VPN.
The Archive NAS uses a hierarchy based on section/course prefixes.
Path structure
SECTION/YEARS/COURSE_CODE_PREFIX/COURSE_CODE
Examples of SECTION folders documented by CePro include MATH, PHYS, CS, EE, ME, MICRO, CIVIL, CH, BIO, BIOENG, MSE, AR, HUM, CMS, ENG, EULER, PENS, PREPA, COM, UNIL.
Windows
In File Explorer, map a network drive using:
\\ent1arch.epfl.ch\avp-e-cepro-003\SECTION\YEARS\COURSE_CODE_PREFIX\COURSE_CODE
Example:
\\ent1arch.epfl.ch\avp-e-cepro-003\MATH\2025-2026\MATH-1XX\MATH-101a
When prompted for credentials, use your EPFL account. If necessary, prefix the username with INTRANET\\ or WORKSPACE\\.
macOS
In Finder, use Go → Connect to Server (CMD + K) and enter:
smb://ent1arch.epfl.ch/avp-e-cepro-003/SECTION/YEARS/COURSE_CODE_PREFIX/COURSE_CODE
Example:
smb://ent1arch.epfl.ch/avp-e-cepro-003/MATH/2025-2026/MATH-1XX/MATH-101a
Linux
Install CIFS support if required:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Create a mount directory and configure the appropriate CIFS mount. The source Moodle documentation uses SMB/CIFS with EPFL credentials; coordinate with your local IT support if you do not already have a standard mount configuration.
