Transfer data between WLP and your devices

  1. Remote data transfer between your personal devices, the Parallels RAS server, and the GGE file server is currently unavailable. The best method is to use UTM PC Labs workstations with a USB key, Google Drive, or OneDrive to transfer data between laptops, home workstations, the Parallels RAS server, and the GGE file server.
  2. For GIS courses, please use the GGE data server storage assigned to you.  This would offer you a better system performance.
