There are a number of different ways to access your data, and move bits around. In general, we encourage the use of encryption and secure connections. The methods and tools below will provide access to your home-directory data (stored on our central file-servers).

Windows

PuTTy

Mac OS-X

built-in, use command-shell, and issue SSH <user>@<target_machine>

Linux/IRIX

same as Mac OS-X

    • target machines/IP-addresses
  • screenshots

GUI Access

Windows

WinSCP, freeNX client

Mac OS-X

Fugu, freeNX client

Linux

Konqueror, freeNX client

IRIX

not known
ToDo

  • FreeNX to become our preferred GUI
    • client availability t.b.d. We should have direct links for local-downloads, to help users
  • screenshots

OFF CAMPUS

By default, computers on the Research network start life with all outside access denied. If you ask, we can assist setting up your machine for off-campus access, by opening firewall Port 22. Please discuss any other unusual needs with us; we'd like to facilitate valid research!
