• minnow.cc.vt.edu,
• or skipper.cc.vt.edu

from Windows, you will need (1) to first connect to the Remote Access - VPN before you can access those shares. (2)  Once you gain remote access using VPN, you need to map a network drive to connect to storage.vt.edu (or to minnow.cc.vt.edu or skipper.cc.vt.edu) – see Virginia Tech Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
