 Fileway

Fileway allows you to access your files on the student file server from any computer with Internet access. That might be your computer at home, at a public library, or just about anywhere, including any personal devices you bring to school and connect to the Internet via podnet. You can watch this six minute screencast for a quick tutorial on how to use Fileway.

You probably want to bookmark Fileway on your home computer, but there will always be a link to Fileway at the top of the AHS web site (upper right corner). Please note that while you can access your files and also get to the Classes share, drop boxes are not functional via Fileway (we're working on it, but there are not any readily apparent solutions at the moment.)

Note: When you type your login name for FileWay, you have to precede it with student1\ . So, for example, if your login was asmith, you would need to type student1\asmith, then your regular password.

Update: We have also discovered one bug in Fileway. On web browsers that like to open a link in a new tab as opposed to a new window (Firefox being the browser that often does this by default), if students click on a link to Fileway and it opens in a new tab, they will not be able to see their folders and files. There are several workarounds for this:

  1. You can change the browser's default settings to open in a new window instead of a new tab. That takes care of it for good, but you may like normally opening new windows in a new tab, so may not want to do this.
  2. Right-click (instead of left-click) on any Fileway link and choose "Open in New Window."
  3. Type in the URL for fileway directly: https://fa.lps.k12.co.us
  4. Left-click and let it open in a new tab, but then close the tab that contained the link. Once you do that and then navigate within Fileway, your folders and files will appear.
