Remote Access

There are a number of options available to access computing resources for the group.

On-Campus: Cluster Access -Your personal workstation is given a name such as "Bionmr-##". Occasionally, you will need more computing power than is available on your workstation. You can access the cluster (denoted "Bionmr" without any numbers) using the SSH utility on linux or an SSH client for Windows (such as PUTTY). Ask the system administrator for details.

Off-Campus: NOTE: The university is working to make connections to on-campus resources more secure. If you are unable to connect, you may need to download and install the University VPN client [1] Try connecting to the vpn client first, and then reattempt your connection.

Access to the cluster is only available through SSH or SSH clients.

If you want to be able to connect to your personal workstation remotely, you can do so with any client you want to use. Ask for recommendations. BEWARE: Many remote desktop clients are shut off upon reboot. If your computer restarts to apply updates, you won't be able to connect until you open the client again on the host machine.
