Backup

Accessing SSS After Graduation Backup NOTE: These instructions are good for the time period between graduation and when your account is deactivated (3 months after your graduation date). To Connect to Your Folder on SSS Open your web browser - Internet Explorer (Windows only), Firefox, Chrome, Safari (Macintosh only). Windows Internet Explorer (Windows only), Safari (Mac only) & Chrome (Firefox instructions are found in section 3 below) In the address bar at the top of your screen (where it typically starts with http://www…) completely erase what appears and type: ftp://sss.hamilton.edu. Then press the enter or return key on your keyboard. When asked to login, enter hamilton-s\ followed by your e-mail ID (e.g. hdstudent). NOTE the direction of the slash after the “–s”. In this example, you would type hamilton-s\hdstudent. NOTE: In Safari, do not precede your userID with “hamilton-s\”. Instead, simply enter your ID in its short form (e.g. hdstudent) in the “Name” field. Enter your SSS password in the password field (this is the same password you use for My Hamilton). NOTE: In Internet Explorer, do not include a check mark in the box labeled Log on anonymously. FireFox Internet Explorer Chrome Safari To Download Your File(s) to Your Hard Drive Once you have successfully logged in you can download your file/files to your hard drive. Depending on the browser you are using, the procedure will be slightly different. See below: Firefox (Mac & Windows) When the SSS folder opens, locate and then open your class year folder. In your class year folder, locate your user folder and open it. Right click on the file you want to download (Windows & Mac) or on a Macintosh, you can press and hold down the command key while clicking once on the file name. Choose Save link as and then choose to Save File. Internet Explorer (Windows) Although it may appear as though you can click on your files to download them, the process is laborious (requiring you to log in several more times) and may or may not work. The correct way to download your file is to click on the Page menu (on the far right side at the top of IE) and select Open FTP site in Windows Explorer from the drop down menu. Click Allow if you are presented with a security warning. Next, you will be asked to log in a second time. Enter your login information as before with Hamilton-s\userid. Replace userid with your real user name (e.g. hdstudent) and enter your SSS (My Hamilton) password. Select your class year folder and then select your user folder. You should now see your files. The preferred way to download a file is to right click on it and choose Copy to folder. If you forget this and double click on the file instead, most file types will allow you to Save the file. However, this may not work with all file types. c. Chrome (Mac & Windows) When the SSS folder opens, locate and then open your class year folder. In your class year folder, locate your user folder and open it. After you’ve navigated to your folder, click on the file you wish to download. The download will happen automatically and the file will be listed along the bottom of your Chrome window. Click on the file name and it will open the application (in the example above, it will open MS Word). From there you can save the file to the desired location. d. Safari (Macintosh) When the SSS folder opens, locate and then open your class year folder. In your class year folder, locate your user folder and open it. Click on the file(s) you want to download and simply drag it/them to your desktop (or into the desired folder on your drive).
Your Hamilton E-mail & SSS Accounts After Graduation Backup Your Hamilton E-mail After You Graduate When is my account deleted? What happens if I miss the deadline? How do I get a deadline extension? How do I get an alumni e-mail account? How do I transfer mail out of my Hamilton account? How do I forward mail to another account? How do tell correspondents my new address? Questions? When is my account deleted? Your Hamilton e-mail account will be deactivated approximately three (3) months after you graduate. Typically this occurs on August 31 or March 31 (for December graduates). Once your account is deactivated, no new mail is received. Your mail remains on the server after deactivation until your account is physically removed (deleted) one month later. Back to top What happens if I miss the deadline to transfer my mail to another account? Although your account is deactivated on the deadline date, your messages are not physically removed from our server for another month. This allows us to easily restore your messages should you accidentally miss the deadline. After the one month grace period has passed, your mail is no longer retrievable. Back to top How do I get a deadline extension? Under special circumstances it is possible to obtain a brief extension. Please address your request to the helpdesk (hd@hamilton.edu). You should include your reason for requesting the extension and the length of time it is desired. Back to top How do I get an alumni e-mail account? The alumni address available to Hamilton graduates (you@alumni.hamilton.edu) is not an actual e-mail account. Instead, it is a mail forwarding service. To sign up for this service please visit the Hamilton Alumni Directory Registration page and follow the step-by-step registration process. When you register, you must provide a real address to which mail is forwarded when mail is addressed to you@alumni.hamilton.edu. The e-mail address you used as a student will not be available for your alumni e-mail address until your old account has been fully deleted as described above. The advantage to the alumni forwarding service is that it allows you to list a Hamilton Alumni e-mail address on professional correspondence. It remains in effect after your Hamilton account is removed and as long as the address to which you forward mail remains active. Back to Top How do I transfer mail from my Hamilton e-mail account to another account? To move existing mail from your Hamilton account into another account before your Hamilton account is deleted please refer to the pertinent section below. To transfer your Hamilton mail to an existing Gmail.com account, please visit: http://my.hamilton.edu/information-technology-services/resource-center/moving-your-mail-to-another-account-1 To transfer your Hamilton mail to a non-Gmail web-based e-mail account: Many web-based e-mail accounts like Gmail (e.g.Yahoo), give you the ability to automatically import mail from your Hamilton account.

Back to Top How do I forward my Hamilton e-mail to another account? Once you have transferred your mail to your non-Hamilton account, it is wise to start forwarding new mail to that account at the same time. When forwarding is turned on it only forwards mail received from that point forward. To transfer mail previously received, please see the section above.
