Remote Access to Student Online Storage

Students can transfer (copy) files to and from their HMS student network account over the World Wide Web using secure File Transfer Protocol (sFTP) clients. Students have been allocated 2GB of storage space for their student online storage folder.

Note: Students can also access their student online storage via MyCourses' Online Storage if there is no sFTP client on the computer that is in use.
