===== Viewing RDW On Windows =====

<WRAP round alert>

Windows File Explorer is NOT suitable for copying data to or from Rocket.  See [[faq:rdw_transfer_how-to| File Transfer and RDW]] for the correct method.

</WRAP>
Windows File Explorer or Powershell can be a handy way to check that data exists on RDW.  

  * Browse your files under the path \\campus\rdw\<your share name>
  * NB you will only see files you (the user you are logged in as) have permission to see, so most folders will appear blank to you.

=== Off Campus ===
Campus managed windows laptops can ‘see’ RDW from off-campus, provided ‘DirectAccess’ is connected.  As mentioned in [[faq:rdw_transfer_how-to| File Transfer and RDW]], attempting to move data using your laptop file manager while off campus would cause the data to travel via the internet and be unacceptably slow and error prone.  //Only// use this method for //viewing files//.

Check for NCL DA Connected when you click the network icon in the systray (bottom right on the taskbar)
