Central File and Print Services (CFAPS)
What is CFAPS?
Central File and Print Services (CFAPS) is a service available to administrative and academic departments at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).
CFAPS provides: Shared Network printing, Backup Service, Shared Central File Service and Off Campus Access.
How to get access to CFAPS
CFAPS access must be requested by the Department/School CFAPS Liaison via the CFAPs request form in the IT Help Portal. If you do not know who your CFAPs Liaison is, please contact your Manager.
If your Department/School does not have a CFAPs Liaison or it needs to be changed, please have a Senior Manager contact the CCS Helpdesk to setup a CFAPs Liaison by following these steps:
- Submit an incident via ServiceNow https://help.torontomu.ca/sp?id=rye_index , or send an email to help@torontomu.ca
- You’ll need to provide authorization from your Director or Manager indicating that they are giving you authorization to be set up as a CFAPS Liaison.
Once this information has been received, the incident will be moved through the process to add you to the CFAPS database.
When this has been completed, you’ll receive a notification (email) indicating that you have been added as a CFAPS Liaison. At this point you can now access the form and submit your request to access a CFAPS service.
Note: CCS will not be held responsible for any inappropriate use of network printers or shared folders as a result of a CFAPS liaison requesting access for users.
Through CFAPS, faculty and staff can quickly and easily back-up their data to their personal network folder. This will prevent the accidental loss of data due to hard disk failure or computer theft. The maximum amount of data that staff or faculty can back up is 1 gigabyte (1 GB) on their personal network space. To get personal back-up disk space, your department must have CFAPS in place.
CFAPS personal and departmental folders can be access off campus using TMU-VPN.
