The Ftp Upload permits easy file transfers to and from Elettra with an outside "partner" that cannot access the Elettra Intranet. It is based on FTP (File Transfer Protocol), with both nominal and anonymous autentication.

By using this service you'll be able to transmit (or receive) files that cannot be transfered via email, due to their exceeding dimension.

By the SSH (Secure SHell) service it is possible to connect to the Elettra Intranet from the Internet in a very secure way, or to transfer classified data via SCP (Secure CoPy) and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).

File sharing

All the computers connected to the LAN can access the file server sincro-share, which shares a big disk area, so to share files among the Elettra people: both private and public areas are available.

A great number of network laser printers is present at the lab. The necessary print queues are handled by the sincro-print server.
