Remote Access - CSU Storage
After submitting the Research Storage Request Form, your CSU storage will be established. To
access your new storage, you will be given a unique CSU Storage address.
Your storage will be created in a directory below the root directory for internal research storage
(S:\Research\Research Data)
How do I access my storage?
Remote access allows you to connect to a CSU Virtual Private Network (VPN) server through a
client on your computer. This will allow you to see CSU storage drives as if you were on campus.
I don’t have VPN. How do I install it?
1. Go to vpn.csu.edu.au with your browser
(Firefox recommended – see Internet
Browser Recommendations and
Support).
2. Click the Download button.
6. Click the Windows Desktop link. An .exe
file will be downloaded to your machine.
3. Click Log In.
4. Use CSU-Staff-Users as the Group.
5. Put in your current CSU Username and
Password.
7. Run the downloaded .exe file and click
Next.
