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!

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.
