Remote Access Instructions

(by Will Heineman and Josh Wise)

Off-Campus Access

If you are attempting to connect from off-campus, you must first connect to the Campus VPN. Then, continue with the appropriate instructions below.

From a Linux or Macintosh Machine

Open up a terminal window:
  • Mac: Applications->Utilities->Terminal.
  • Linux: Try Applications->Accessories->Terminal, but this may vary.
    • You should recognize the terminal as being similar to the one you used in lab.

    Type ssh <yourNetId>@<server>

    (I'll explain those below). Hit enter, type your ND password and you're in!

    From a ND Windows Machine

    Go to Start->All Programs->PuTTY->PuTTY, enter the hostname into the dialog, then click "Open".

    You should now see a screen similar to that you used in lab. Type in your ND netid and password, and you are good to go!

    From Your Own Windows Machine

    You will need to download a program called PuTTY:

    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

    (It is the first one, called PuTTY. Click the .exe link)

    Once you have it downloaded, open it up. You should be presented with a small-ish box with what looks like a lot of options. You can customize PuTTY in a myriad of ways, but just ignore everything for now.

    A little ways down from the top of the page it opens to should be a text field labeled "Host Name". Enter the remote host name, and click Open.

    You should now see a screen similar to that you used in lab. Type in your ND netid and password, and you are good to go!

    For All Platforms

    By <yourNetId> I mean you Notre Dame netid. For example, for John Smith it would be jsmith.

    By <server> I mean one of the many Linux machines available to students.

    The machines available to students for remote access are:

  • student00.cse.nd.edu
  • student01.cse.nd.edu
  • student02.cse.nd.edu
  • student03.cse.nd.edu
  • remote101.helios.nd.edu
  • remote102.helios.nd.edu
  • remote103.helios.nd.edu
  • remote104.helios.nd.edu
  • remote105.helios.nd.edu
  • remote106.helios.nd.edu
  • remote107.helios.nd.edu
  • remote108.helios.nd.edu

    • For example : jsmith@student02.cse.nd.edu

    Happy Programming!
