Working remotely
To work remotely, go to https://view.uio.no and log in. From here you have two options:
- A windows environment. Select "Kontor Fullskjerm" to get a remote office machine running Windows. If you need access to disks other than your home directory (like a research volume or similar), you may need to go to Explorer -> This PC -> Right click on "This PC" -> "Map network drive" -> Enter the address of the volume, like smb://sarpanitu.uio.no/myvolume.
- A linux environment. Select "MatNat Arbeidsstasjon" got get a generic RedHat Linux machine presented to you. On this machine, your home directory is located under the folder "M-drive", and you have a limited software offering. You can however open a terminal and ssh to your desktop to load modules and start applications like RStudio as usual.
Accessing files
To copy files from your home directory at UiO to your local machine at home from a Mac or Windows machine use Cyberduck.
The remote server is "login.math.uio.no", the protocol used is "sftp". Leave the rest of the configuration as default. When asked for your password, provide your UiO password.
