We need to create a virtual server for you first before you can access it. Email IT help support to request for a virtual server. Tell us who you are and who your supervisor is.

How to access it: Via SSH and use X11 tunelling technique.

Windows: Download SSH Client here.

ftp://ftp.stat.ubc.ca/clients/Win/Ssh2/

Or Putty SSH

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Download Xming Xserver and install it on your Windows

Mac/Linux

Open a Terminal and type ssh -X {username}@virtual_server_host_name.math.ubc.ca
Example: ssh -X username@vm-abcd.math.ubc.ca"

Hostname is provided in the email.
The host name should look similar to "vm-abcd.math.ubc.ca"

Login/Passwd are the same as your MathNet
After you login, your VM will NOT mount your MathNet Home directory. This is for security reason to protect your files

To mount your MathNet home directlry securely, we use sshfs.
For your convient, we created a sshfs script in "/usr/local/bin/mathfiles". Just type 'mathfiles' for usage.

NOTES: Use Xrpa/Screen for running app nohup remotely.
