LRC File Server Services

* UT is blocking this service in response to the Microsoft RPC vulnerabilty. As a work around, you can use the Citrix Terminal Server or UT's VPN Server.

The LRC file server services provide storage for user home accounts, student groups and design teams, and temporary public storage.

The Public folder is for temporary storage of files, transferring files between Mac and PC. The Public folder is not backed up and is purged between semesters.
