Gemini FAQ

The linux shell server gemini.science.uu.nl will replace servers staff.science.uu.nl and students.science.uu.nl.

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 for connecting to gemini?

For SSH or SFTP connections, you should use port 22 (the default).

Will the address of my personal web site change?

No. Personal web site addresses will keep on starting with www.staff.science.uu.nl. The server name gemini will not appear in web addresses.

Does the change affect my project web site www.projects.science.uu.nl/MyProject?

No, it does not. Project (web) sites will retain their locations.

Can gemini also be used for teaching purposes?

If you have been using either one of the old servers staff or students for this purpose, you can continue using the new gemini server in the same way.
