This article shows you how to copy files from a Surgery network drive to your local computer (laptop or workstation) using Surgery's secure access solution, Citrix.
Requirements
- Computer or laptop connected to the Internet.
- A web browser that can access https://remote.surgery.wisc.edu
- A valid Surgery user account and password.
- The name of the computer you are using.
- If a DoS supported device, the name starts with DOS and contains four numbers and is typically found on the case of the unit.

Step by Step Guide
For Windows systems:
- Connect to https://remote.surgery.wisc.edu
- Enter your Surgery username and password.
- Launch Citrix Receiver / Workplace and agree to any additional terms presented.
- Open the Windows Explorer - Transfer Files app from the Workplace. This could take up to 30 or 45 seconds to start.
- You should see a similar representation of drive resources as below. Note the presences of two "Local Disk C:" drives. For this secure remote file transfer, your computer's local files and folders are represented by the C:\ DOSxxxxx object which has a red square around it.
- Depending on the direction of the file transfer, you will either choose the network resource first or the Local Disk DOSxxxxx.
- Navigate to the file you want to transfer.
- Right click on it and choose Copy
- If you are copying to the Local Disk DOSxxxxx, open the drive, and browse to Users > <Login Name> > Desktop. Open the desktop folder, right click and choose Paste.
- Reverse this process if copying information from the local disk to the Surgery network drives.
- Close the File Manager application and close the Citrix Remote Access application when finished.
