Remote Files Access

Introduction

Remote files is a service provided by ITS to enable staff and students to access files on their University provided home drive from a remote computer such as a personal computer (at home or via wireless connectivity on campus) or from the CATS suite.

Files can be transferred between the computer they use to access remote files and their University home drive (U: or V:) and shared drives S: (staff) and L: (students).
