The WVU Research Data Depot is a centrally managed, reliable, secure, and fast data storage system specifically designed to meet the university’s diverse research storage needs. Designed to handle all size of files, from small to very large, researchers who use this service will have access to their data both on and off-campus and can also use it to collaborate with researchers outside of WVU.

SMB (Server Message Block) is the file transfer protocol that has traditionally been utilized for accessing Windows File Shares. MB has become the standard protocol for transferring files in heterogeneous environments, such as in the research community where researchers have Windows, OS X, and Linux PCs and servers. Files can be transferred over SMB through graphical user interfaces or through traditional command-line utilities (mainly in Linux and OSX).

Access via SMB is only permitted while on campus. If you need to access the data remotely, you can do so via sftp or Globus Online. |
