Access to most of our computers from the outside of the University's
campus is restricted. If you have an account on one of the systems enumerated
below and you want to establish a terminal connection (telnet like)
you can use Secure Shell (SSH) software. If you are using Unix (Linux)
SSH software may be already installed (ask your system adminstrator or
issue
man ssh command to learn more about it). If you are
using Windows you can
download PuTTY: A Free Win32 Telnet/SSH Client..
But if you do not have any choice you can still connect. The condition
is that
your browser must support Java applets
(Netscape 6.x, Mozilla 1.x, Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and
above). You have to check if your browser has Java enabled (for Netscape
see menu: Edit, Preferences, Advanced, check "Java" box on; for Internet Explorer
see: Tools, Internet preferences, Advanced, Java section).
If so follow instructions below. (Browser must be also configured
to allow the pop-up windows to open.)
Beware! Computer owner may scan keys you are typing on the keyboard!
