Remote access and dual boot workstations

• There is no easy way to remotely reboot these workstations into a specific OS
• Each machine has a default boot configuration - see notes for each machine in the sections below

Remote VPN access from off campus

• CS VPN https://vpn.cs.uwaterloo.ca/
• UW VPN https://vpn.uwaterloo.ca

SSH Key access is now required by IST

• See https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CF/SSH
• *Note: you will still be able to login for the next while via password from on campus networks or by VPN

Vision Lab Windows machine remote access

• You can use Remote Desktop from either a Windows or Linux Workstation
  • NOTE: if someone else is using the machine you will kick them off if you connect
    • When you connect with Windows Remote Desktop you will get a warning that someone else is connected

Vision Lab Linux machine remote access

• I strongly recommend using SSH to access a Linux workstation
• If you are using Windows see next section on SSH applications
  • Using VNC or Remote Desktop for access to Linux limits the machine access to a single user
  • The resource overhead for serving a full desktop is very high by comparison to SSH
• If you need to launch an remote GUI use ssh -X when connecting (-X = forwarding)

Vision Lab Linux machine full desktop access

• If you really need full desktop access consult the following notes
  • https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CF/LinuxRemoteDesktop

Windows ssh client with X windows support - graphical interface

• MobaXterm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net
  • You can launch GUI applications directly - X forwarding is enabled by default
    • Example: You are logged in and want to run xclock

                   *xclock &
               

Printer
