IT Services is proud to announce the imminent arrival of their new remote file access tool, Webfiles. Previously when you clicked on the Remote File Access link in MyMRU, you were directed to SRAS. This allowed you to upload and download files on the Mount Royal network remotely. This tool was used by students, staff and faculty and was linked to our old VPN Pulse Secure.

As of September 7, 2020 Pulse Secure will no longer be supported and SRAS will no longer function. In preparation of this, we have been moving those using Pulse Secure over to our new VPN Global Protect.

Webfiles will replace the SRAS upload and download functionality. Just like SRAS, it is available to students, staff and faculty. If you use the Remote File Access link in MyMRU to access SRAS, sometime before August 24, 2020 the link will be updated to give you access to Webfiles.  If you use secure.mtroyal.ca, to access SRAS, please move over to Webfiles before September 7, 2020 to ensure continued access to remote files.

Change is always challenging however Webfiles is much easier to use than SRAS , making this change a welcome one. For details on how to use Webfiles, refer to the user guide Accessing files and folders remotely using Webfiles.  For the latest information on remote file access, visit the Working Off-Campus webpage.
