Logging in

There are two main servers for the Department: storm located at the Rose Hill campus and erdos at the Lincoln Center campus. Students needing to use a computer for their coursework are given an account on one or the other of these machines. An account on one of them is not valid on the other. Each machine can be accessed from any computer on the Internet. Especially fast access is available from the Department's computer laboratories at either campus. These laboratories are located in Room JMH 330 at Rose Hill and Room LL 812 at Lincoln Center.

You can connect to the Department's servers via a Secure Shell (SSH) connection in two main ways: by a direct Linux connection in the computer lab in Room LL 813, or by an SSH connection from any computer that is connected to the Internet, such as your home computer.
