What's new in the most recent version of Citrix®?

It is now possible to access data on local hard disks, including locally-attached USB flash drives, as well as data on many GC network drives. See below for instructions.

[edit]

Can I browse the contents of my GC network U:\ drive?

Yes. Login to Citrix® then:

   * Click on the Utilities folder in Citrix. A window connecting to the server will flash quickly.

fig.1

   * Click on the “Windows Explorer” icon
   * A “Client File Security” screen will appear requesting access to files on the local hard disks. If you wish 
      to access files on the local computer, select “Full Access” and “Always ask me”
   * Click OK
   * Windows Explorer will launch and the contents of your GC U:\ drive will appear under “My Documents”.

fig.2

NOTE : During your Citrix® session, the “My Documents” folder will point to your GC U:\ drive

[edit]

How do I access my local hard disks and USB flash drive?

   * Click on the plus sign to the right of My Computer to expand the list of available drives
   * Select the drive letter you wish to access and work normally

fig.3

NOTE: 1) Hard Disks labeled “on ‘Client’” refer to hard disks on your local computer.

Example: The image to the right displays “C$ on ‘Client’ (V:)”

         o “C$ on ‘Client’” identifies this hard disk as the C:\ drive on the local computer.
         o “(V:)” refers to the drive letter assigned to this hard disk by Citrix®. Use this letter when 
            working with files in Citrix®.

2) The hard disks and drive letter assignments that appear in Citrix® may change depending on the hard disks available on the remote computer.

For example, plugging a USB flash drive into the local computer before connecting to Citrix ® will add that hard disk to your Citrix® session. Citrix® will assign the USB flash drive a drive letter causing other drive letters to change.

[edit]

How do I get to the “My Documents” folder on my local computer via Citrix®?

If you are using Windows XP, go to V:\Documents and Settings, select the username you use on your PC, then open “My Documents”.

[edit]

What do the messages at the lower right of the Citrix ® page mean?

The “ Message Center ” displays notices from the system administrator as well as helpful error messages including notifying you of an incorrect username and password combination.

[edit]
