I am off campus and i was wondering if there was a way to connect to the S drive here at school without have to be connected through a VPN.
thanks

yup, its been a while since I did it that I can't exactly remember how to do it. There is instructions on the helpdesk website.

Are you able to telnet from the outside? Then you could just use pscp from the makers of PuTTY

Simplest way to do it is just use an FTP utility (your normal browser should work in a pinch):

ftp://gpunix.umr.edu

Login with your username and password and browse just like an Explorer window.

10:1, if you're off-campus when you do this, UMRIT auto-sends a nastygram to your mail account, telling you to get off your lazy bum and download an FTP utility that supports encryption. They may have even disabled insecure access off-campus by now. Not sure. Try it and see.

FileZilla works pretty well and supports SFTP.

wsftp pro also does sftp

Kerberos and AFS set-up for Wintel systems.


IT recommends WinSCP for secure FTP.
