On Campus: Connect to Server

Accessing the Server from Home

From home, or from anywhere off campus, you will need to use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) utility to access any of our servers.

On a Macintosh, you can use an FTP program called Fetch.

It is a free program for UNR students and faculty; you may install it from:

For both MACs and Windows a free FTP program, Filezilla, is available at:http://sourceforge.net/
