Transferring Files

If you need to transfer files from one computer to another you can use your U:/ drive (which you can access from any computer on campus). 

To transfer files to a another student or a faculty member you can use the SAL_tempfolder  (J:\saldata\Sal_temp see notes), assuming they also have access to the J:\ drive. 

Projects that require group access to shared files can request a folder on the S:\ drive. This will function as a shared network space (similar to your U:/ drive but accessible to the entire group. Contact stefan for setting up a folder on the S:\ drive.

You can also post files to your website, which works well for transferring a file off campus. WWU does not have ftp sites available for student, faculty or public use. There are, however, online options for file transfers:
