Research Services

This page is meant to provide a listing and brief details for the complete range of services available in the SFU Surrey Research Labs.

The following should be fleshed out

• Fridge
  • There is a small fridge located in the IM lab.
  • $0.75CDN for any drink/chocolate bar/popsicle (when available).
  • The fridge may NOT be used to store other food/lunch.
• Printers
• Cluster
  • See Cluster User Documentation
• File Uploading
  • SFTP to tirpitz.iat.sfu.ca, or to any Linux workstation.
  • FTP is available to tirpitz.iat.sfu.ca, but is strongly discouraged for security reasons.
• Linux Workstations
  • Need Hostnames/IPs - maybe auto-fetch?
• Windows Workstations

    • If you need to connect your laptop, find an open ethernet jack within research and connect up. Please avoid disconnecting other machines.
  • Wireless

• Who to contact for help
