Network File Access

The recommended way of connecting to CSE files and folders from a non-lab managed machine is via the fuse-sshfs package (most applicable directories are already exported on lab-managed machines). It is also possible to request exports of a specific directory to a local desktop by emailing support@cs.

We provide ways that you can telecommute and use CSE resources and software. If your destination is Unix, we offer several packages for connecting, including: OpenSSH, XTerm for X support, and Mindterm. If your destination is Windows, rdesktop is the current (and only) supported method.
