1. Connect to your TU Delft VPS via SSH (follow instructions in TU Delft ICT email from initial server setup or configure 1-step connection via SSH [here](https://gitlab.tudelft.nl/acryan/data-management-for-researchers/-/wikis/Configure-VPS-connection-via-SSH))
2. Create a new directory in /media where you will mount the project drive into. Use `cd /media` to enter the media directory, and `mkdir <yourprojectname>` to create a new directory where the TU Delft project drive will be mounted.
3. Find your user ID (uid) and group ID (gid). Open /etc/passwd by typing `sudo vi /etc/passwd` and scroll down until you see your netid. It will be followed by an :x: and some numbers separated by ':'. The first number is your uid, the second number is your gid. Copy and paste or record these numbers for use in a later step. Exit the vi editor by Control+C, then `:qa` and Enter.

4. Open the fstab file (where you can list the addresses of external file systems you want to mount) which is also in the /etc directory by typing `sudo vi fstab`
5. Locate the URL of your project storage. This can be found either in the email from TU Delft ICT confirming project drive storage setup, or by going to https://webdata.tudelft.nl/, and then WebDav Web Links > Staff-Umbrella > Enter your netID and password > "Your Project Name". Copy everything after "https://webdata.tudelft.nl/" (this will be staff-umbrella/yourprojectname)
6. On a new line in your fstab file (hit "i" to switch to insert mode and be able to type), write `//tudelft.net/` and paste the latter half of the URL you copied from the WebDav links. The full URL should be in this format: //tudelft.net/staff-umbrella/yourprojectname
