Linux and Macs

Everyone needs to use the NCSU VPN software to access Department Resources.

Most Linux and Mac machines are only available via ssh access. Using the terminal from Macs or other Linux machines or Putty from Windows machines you can access department Linux machines provided you have been granted ssh access.

You will ssh using the hostname and login with your UNITYID and MyPack password. If you have questions please contact help@sciences.ncsu.edu
