Accessing the Production Server

Introduction

The production server is located at http://expertiza.ncsu.edu. It is firewalled at NC State University and thus requires VPN or tunneled connection. This article explains both methods.

VPN

The instructions to connect to NC State's VPN are located at http://vpn.ncsu.edu

Tunneling Via SSH

If you have access through NC State, you can first ssh into a publicly accessible server such as remote.eos.ncsu.edu using your unity ID before then connecting via SSH to expertiza.ncsu.edu. http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/remoteaccess/linux.php

After Connecting Through the Firewall

The command to connect to the Expertiza server is:

ssh <unity_id>@expertiza.ncsu.edu
