Note that the procedure described below will connect you
to the Departmental Unix servers, so that you will have to
understand and utilize Unix commands (from the command line).
Connecting to the Departmental servers requiers an SSH client.
If you are using a Windows machine, one client you can
use is PuTTy.
PuTTY is available for free, just download and install on
your machine. Note that there are other SSH clients
available for Windows-based machines.
If you are using a Macintosh, you are already basically
running a Unix machine. You can just open a terminal window
and connect using the SSH client available from the terminal
window.
Similarly, if you are using a Unix machine, just use
the SSH client available there.
