A Scientific Linux account is available to al Science staff, guests and students. The account should be contacted through SSH (secure shell).

The default interactive shell is bash. The Linux server runs many Science specific programs and environments, such as Mathematica and MatLab.

Access to personal storage, project space, scratch space

Your Linux home directory reflects your personal storage, thus making all your personal data available to you.

Project and Scratch spaces are also accessible, on /home/projects and /home/scratch respectively.

Logging in

To log in, use your own Solis-id and password.

You must use a SSH connection (secure shell). On most Linux and Mac OS systems, SSH clients are readily available. On a Windows system you may need to install a client, such as PuTTY. When using a client that offers multiple protocols, always select SSH as the protocol to connect.

Make sure you connect to the right server:
