Remote Access

The SNS computers can be accessed remotely, from off-campus locations as well as from the IAS housing complex, by using ssh protocol 2 (secure shell). The SNS computers which allow remote ssh access are thea.sns.ias.edu and hyperion.sns.ias.edu. Alternatively, use the alias ssh.sns.ias.edu to connect to one system or the other.

Pine can be used to read email by opening an ssh connection as described above and entering the command pine in an xterm window. Note that if you are using a slow connection (such as dial-up), and have ssh available, this is a quick way to read your email. Learn more about pine.

Webmail is available to access your email remotely.
