====== Remote Access To CS systems ======


  * [[.:ssh:|SSH instructions ]]
     *  The easiest way to gain access the Computer Science Dept. Unix machines outside of the computer lab. This gives you terminal access to the command line inside the department, and it allows you to send files back and forth to your home directory. Since it has no remote GUI, it is much faster than VNC. The simplest way of doing this is opening a terminal on a Mac or Linux machine and typing ''ssh username@mote33.cs.vassar.edu'', or using [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY]] on Windows.

  * [[.:vnc:|VNC instructions]]
     * Remote access to the Comp Sci Unix system with a full graphical display. This will give you access to a full graphical shell like the ones available on the Asprey lab computers, although it is somewhat slower than SSH. This will allow you to use programs like Netbeans and other IDE's from the comfort of your home
