This page provides some instructions for using ssh/scp/telnet/ftp
files to connect to the Sun
workstations and computers outside the Sun network.
Logging into Remote Machines from the Sun Workstations
You can connect to machines outside the Sun NASA/GIS network with ssh
(preferred) or telnet (discouraged). Please note that if you use
telnet, your password is transmitted in plain text across the
(Inter)net and it's pretty easy for someone to steal it.
Using ssh to connect to an outside server
pfarrall@weathertop pfarrall$ ssh -l paul cedar.washington.edu

Connection closed.
Logging into Sun Workstations from machines outside the Sun network
You can ssh to your Sun workstation from any machine that has an
ssh client installed. Linux workstations and Apple machines running
OS X will most likely already have an ssh client installed. For
Windows PC's you can download a free-for-Academic use ssh client from
www.ssh.com.
Restrictions: The Sun workstations have some restrictions on what
machines can ssh to them. If you are on the USU campus and you can't
ssh to a particular Sun workstation, contact Bonnie or Paul and we'll
help you out. If you are off campus, you can only
ssh to elwood.nr.usu.edu. There is no other telnet or ftp access to the Sun
workstations from off campus.
Connecting directly to a Sun workstation
