Remote access¶
SSH¶
You can connect to your Linux desktop via the SSH
protocol. To do so your user account needs to be in the users
group. Read
the Permissions page for more details about permissions, or use
Desktop Manager to add yourself to the SSH group.
The address to connect to will be of the form:
uos-NNNNN.clients.soton.ac.uk
If you don’t know what your computer’s “UOS” number is, you can find out by either opening Desktop Manager or by opening a terminal and typing:
hostname
For example if your computers UOS name were uos-57292
you would connect to
the address uos-57292.clients.soton.ac.uk
. You can then login with your
normal university username and password.
