I assume that you have permission to do this at work. Strange network activity will bring you unwanted attention if you do not.

Downloads come in via port 80. To run behind a proxy firewall, access must be given to outbound port 443. Files are sent to server.worldcommunitygrid.org

That option works quite well with the UD interface. It's also helpful to have UDMonitor to manage the slots if there is more than one, and there likely will be if you are harvesting data from multiple machines. You just have to stop execution and copy stuff in the main UD directory back and forth.
The dependent directories just contain some graphics that will be regenerated. grid.org also has info about this in their "sneakernet" section. The UD interface is the same even though datasets may have slightly different names. The essence at both grid.org and worldcommunitygrid.org projects is similar, but this isn't for the timid. It's easy to get confused. Pay attention to the clock and date, which can be reset when you don't want it to be.

I had a lot of problems trying that with BOINC. The timing is more tightly tied to the system(s), and the project due date got reset to 1901 or something when flipping systems back and forth. I never got any successful results after messing with it for a few days. Since BOINC has a feature allowing uploading/downloading simultaneously with running the next workunit, I would just leave BOINC alone and let it do its thing. It is already complex enough.
