Remote Access
7.1. Remote Access
There are three different types of remote access supported by the Department of Mathematics:
-
Mathematics Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The
Mathematics VPN allows you to access restricted Math resources (as well
as many campus-only resources) when you are not in a Math building. For
example, if you need access to the Mathematics Intranet pages, you
could use the Mathematics VPN to gain access to them.
-
Remote Desktop (VNC)
Using
remote desktop, you can connect to a virtual Linux desktop from your
Windows, Mac OS, or Linux-based computer. You can even connect from a
tablet such as an iPad!
-
Shell Access (ssh)
Shell
access provides you with text-only access to your account. This is a
great option for those who simply want to run programs or scripts from
the Linux command line.
