For how long files will be saved on the server?

is it true that if u work in a company where there is a server , someone in the company with its password will be able to view your personal emails and even he can read your passwords and not only see the asters + all the files you have opened on the internet. And for how long my files will be saved on the server (work in the company is not that much, which means the server will not be full in a short period of time). Is there a way that files can be deleted from the server?

Yes, it is true.





The computer administrator for the company you work at usually has the ability to see EVERYTHING YOU DO.





In fact, at a good portion of the companies, it's part of their job duties to actually "audit" user activity.





The thing is. You are at work. You shouldn't be using the WORK time for personal activity, or for storing PERSONAL files, or visiting non work related websites.





If you are doing your JOB, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.





Most companies I know think of data as precious, so they don't have a "file purge" system in place. They may have an ARCHIVAL system, where files older than say, 3 years are backed up to an external system, then removed from the server. But, if you are downloading things at work that you aren't supposed to be downloading, the best thing to do is STOP DOING IT.








To the guy who said this :





"Now if you are accessing a web email such as Yahoo email...then no...they can not see that."





Yes, they can. any data that comes through the network is visible to an administrator. (if he wants to see it, that is) with programs such as realVNC, I can even watch what a person is doing, - where they are moving their mouse, if they are playing solitaire, etc..





I can also TAKE OVER a computer system, and use it as if I was sitting at it, even from another facility.





There are a ton of other programs which do this.

Reply:Really depends on your company's policy.
Reply:Within a network users are given rights....some of them are given only reading writes which means they can't save anything...some oare given read/write rights which means they can save things to the server. I have found that if I create a document I can delete it from the server but I can not delete anyone elses documents. The network administrator has ALL rights which means he can view anything on the server. I'm not sure if that includes emails.....but he is probably the one that asigned your password to begin with. There is always a chance that information shared on a server can be viewed by the administrator....it is good practice to only have work things on work computers....Now if you are accessing a web email such as Yahoo email...then no...they can not see that.
