Remote Access

ITG provides our clients the ability to access network resources from Institute housing and off-campus locations. This can be done in two ways: VPN or SSH.

Connecting remotely requires authenticated network access using your ITG issued network user account. This allows you to access your personal network storage space, email, and other network services.

 

If you are off-campus and connecting via VPN

  1. You will need to connect the Virtual Private Network(VPN)
  2. You will need to Map to a network drive

 

If you are off-campus and connecting via SSH

UNIX (SSH apps also available via Windows and Mac)

To access your personal network storage (I-drive,) establish a SSH connection with remote.itg.ias.edu. The home folder you are placed in will contain your personal files. It will also contain a public_html folder, which is where your personal web space files are located. To access ITG supported website directories, navigate to /home/web. We currently do not support methods for connecting to other file spaces using UNIX.

 

ITG Terminal Server

If you are off-campus and need to access the Terminal Server

The ITG Terminal Services provides members of the Institute's Administrative Staff with a centralized desktop that they can log in to from any computer throughout the world that has a connection to the Internet.
