Existing Sites
If you are an owner or manager of a site, you can login to WebManage with your ONID account and grant access to other ONID accounts.
If you aren't one of a site's owners, you can contact the owners directly to request access, or fill out the Site Request form.
New Sites
Please be sure to read the requirements for the type of site you are requesting. If you have questions there is contact information listed for each group.
- College or Department (Includes course site requests) - We will verify all requests with the Dean's Office or department head of your respective college or department, so please inform them of your request beforehand. Complete the Site Request form, indicating that this request is for a new site, and provide the details of the organization, ownership, and initial gatekeeper of the site. Once we receive the request, and have confirmed the ownership and representation of the site, you will be notified via e-mail.

How to Connect
The file server access.cws.oregonstate.edu supports editing and uploading content using SFTP, FTP, on-campus Network Shares, or directly via SSH.
SFTP is recommended for all file transfers. SFTP is supported by the SSH client software distributed on the OSUWare CD and many recent HTML editing programs.
FTP is a less secure method for transferring files. FTP transfers must be done in Passive Mode - check your software instructions for information on how to enable Passive Mode.
On-campus users with an ONID account can access a network share from Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. To connect from Windows:
- From the Start menu, select Run...
- In the Run dialog box, enter:
\\access.cws.oregonstate.edu
- When prompted for a username, be sure to enter your ONID username with the prefix "ONID\" like so:
ONID\username
- Enter your ONID password.
Getting Software
SSH software is provided on the OSUware CD; available to OSU students, faculty, and staff from the Circulation desk in the Valley Library, the Residential Network in Hawley Hall, and the SCF Main computer lab
