There are several networks in our buildings, both wired and wireless. For the wired connections, please make sure you connect to our designated laptop networks; connecting to the desktop network directly will not work, and may cause security issues. When in doubt, contact the computer group.
Our printers are only accessible from the wired network, and from the UL-STRW-LION wireless network. See laptopprint for details.
It is in general not possible to access the disks of our Linux and Windows desktops and workstations directly. The closest one can get to mounting a desktop disk, is using the sshfs
tools (also known as fuse-ssh
), available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. These tools create a filesystem access over ssh, so it is encrypted, and it uses your own user credentials to guarantee that no one else can access files this way.
