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).


ON CAMPUS

Command Line Access

Windows

PuTTy

Mac OS-X

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

Linux/IRIX

same as Mac OS-X
ToDo

  • HowTo
    • 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

NFS/SMB Mounting

Windows

SMB mount - automatic upon successful login

Mac OS-X

NFS mount - automatic upon successful login

Linux

NFS mount - automatic upon successful login

IRIX

NFS mount - automatic upon successful login
ToDo

  • HowTo
    • typical /etc/fstab entries for the Linux DIY'er
    • target machines/IP-addresses


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!

typical Konqueror address-bar syntax (where the fish:// protocol means "over SSH"):

fish://gordp@tirpitz.iat.sfu.ca/

In Konqueror, if you split the window and show both a local directory and the remote one, you can easily drag-and-drop files from one to the other (from the Konqueror menu-bar: Window -> Split View Left/Right):

NFS Mounting

NFS mounting is not available outside the Research firewall.
