How can I access my U: Drive from off campus?

Due to numerous spyware, malware, ransomware, and virus concerns, ITS no longer offers direct access to your U:\ drive from off-campus. ITS suggests a better two-step solution. 

  1. Use Fredonia's Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution to connect to campus. Please see Getting started with the Fredonia Virtual Private Network (VPN) Services.

  2. Control your office Windows or MAC computer from anywhere. Please see How to access your computer remotely. This solution not only allows you to access your U:\ drive from off-campus but also allows you to use all applications installed on your office computer. NOTE: Faculty that have only an assigned laptop computer and transport said laptop off-campus can email the ITS Service Center for a possible Windows solution. 

    1. For Category I - Public Data and Category II - Private Data, ITS recommends saving files or folders from your U:\ drive to Google Drive when on campus.

    2. For Security Category III - Restricted Data access, please contact the Information Security Office for more information.

    3. Students can access their U: drives on lab computers.
