CAE Lab File Server
Remote Login Access to CAE Unix Systems
The following document gives instructions on how to log in to the CAE network's Unix and Linux systems. Both text-only access and the ability to run graphical jobs using the X Window System are covered.
If You Require Both Text-based and Graphical Programs
Select your computer's operating system from the list below for instructions on setting up a secure shell (ssh) client and X server. Installing both a secure shell client and an X server will allow you to access CAE Unix and Linux systems from anywhere in the world, and will enable the display of graphical programs on your local computer's display.
- Windows (using free Cygwin programs, good for personal systems or University systems without Fluent installed)
- Windows (using Exceed, good for University systems with Fluent installed)
- Mac OS X (version 10.3 or later)
- Linux or other Unix
If you Require Only Text-based Programs
Select your computer's operating system from the list below for instructions on setting up a secure shell (ssh) client. Installing a secure shell client by itself will allow you to access CAE Unix and Linux systems from anywhere in the world, but will disable the display of graphical programs on your local computer's display.
