How to Remotely Access SSIL Data
In the case that you are on campus (or logged into UOnet via VPN or uonet dialup) you can still access your class data without being in SSIL. The following document describes this process. SSIL will not troubleshoot your connection; this document is merely provided as a courtesy. Contact your system administrator for assistance in connecting to shares across the network.
