The linux server GEMINI.SCIENCE.UU.NL is the main ssh-server, and can be used to submit compute jobs (short term, and long term jobs). More about the Oracle Grid Engine

Note: Starting september 2020 the access to Gemini will no longer be default but can be enabled through a selfservice page to be made available later this year.

Which ID should I use to connect?

You should use your Solis-id, with lower case characters only. Do not use upper case characters in your ID.

Which server should I use for SFTP connections?

You should use gemini.science.uu.nl as the host name for SFTP connections.
Note that there is no ftp. as a prefix for the host name!

Should I use a specific port when connecting to gemini?

For SSH or SFTP connections, you should use port 22 (the default). The server is accessible directly from outside university networks also.

What is the address of my project web site?
