Remote Access
Remote access to files over the web
provided by files.admin.qmul.ac.uk
(see link on menu to right) and files.stu.qmul.ac.uk/staff
for Corporate Affairs, DDS, & LLU.
The system allows people with strong enough passwords to
access their own fire store, their P or G drive.
Additionally it can give access to shared folders, on a N or
J drive, however the access of shared folders is not
automatic and must be approved for security reasons.
- Access to shared folders is given by marking the group
giving access to the folder as allowing external access.
- Permission to make changes to a group access or
membership must be given by the group owner or most
senior member of the group actively working with
the data in the folder.
- It is not sufficient to have the permission of the
head of department as they may have no idea what the
nature of the data involved is and what standards of
protection are being applied to the data.
- The data controler needs to be aware they they are
giving access to the data in the folder from anywhere in
the world vis a web browser.
- Sharing takes place at the top level folder (of N or
J) and so all sub-folders will be made available.
- Protection of the data is only as strong as the
weekest password in the group with access
