I think that will depend on how your university network is set up - talk the the admins.

What I can say is that I have no trouble getting to our company network via FTP. Using File Expert I can map the parts of our network I'm authorised for and transfer files both to and from my eDGe without any problems. I assume you should be able to do the same on the university network.

I should add that I can get to our network via WiFi when I'm near and through the internet otherwise.
