Information Technology and Support

[ Remote Access to the Internet/Server ]

Capabilities are available to access the files stored on your network drives (G:, H:, U:, etc.) through a remote secure connection. If you require access to network drives, please submit an ITS Help Desk ticket (http://footprints.finance.upenn.edu) and confirm your shared network drive letters in the ticket. Please note that VPN connection is NOT needed for the following UPenn systems: ISC Exchange Webmail Server, BEN Financials, PTO System, Business Objects, HR applications, etc. These systems are web based so they do not require remote access to Finance servers or domain.

To enable remote access, please complete a request form and drop it off at the ITS department on the 3rd floor of the Franklin Building (3451 Walnut Street). The form can be downloaded at: http://www.finance.upenn.edu/forms/RASReq.doc

Instructions for configuring your home computer for remote access. Microsoft XP-PRO
(MS Word 97-03 format)

Policy Update:

Remote users should be advised that connection times are now limited. If there is no connection activity for 1 hour (no file modifications on network drives, or leaving computer unattended for 1 hour, etc.), you will be automatically disconnected by the Remote Access System. Also, if you are connected longer than 9 hours consecutively, you will be automatically disconnected. Please keep these policies in mind when using VPN to remote access the Finance network drives.

NOTE: Windows XP Professional operating system is required for remote access to the Division of Finance network.

Please see the Department Service Level Agreement for ITS policy on home computer support.
