[labnetwork] Getting files off older computers

[Shuyou Li]

Hi Kevin,

If you use FOM system, we provide a module called "lock-n-sync", which
securely and automatically transfers user's experimental data to a file
server on local area network (in contrast to the campus network or
internet). The file server is with a modern server operating system and
then can be connected to the campus network using a second network card.
This work was published in 2015 here:
https://doi.org/10.1017/S1431927615001695.

Best regards,
Shuyou
