Some handy information:

  •  Keep your password a secret! NEVER share your password.
  • Email may be read on the web. The web-client also contains your calendar. You can also set up your mail and calendar with the following programs:
  • Wifi access is primarily aquired by the SSID "Eduroam" at the University, most airports in Norway and at other Eduroam sites in Norway and abroad. Log in with your_username@uio.no to ensure wide access at all sites. See our Wifi page for more information.
  • Your Home directory can be accessed through both Windows and Linux.
    • You can use M: (Windows) and $HOME (or ~)(Linux) to interchange files and documents between different systems. This is a good alternative to external services like Dropbox and others outside Norwegian jurisdiction.
    • WinSCP and WebDrive towards the machine "login.uio.no" will transfer files both ways.
