SSH
tunnels
allow you to access department resources from remote locations. Common applications
of tunneling include establishing
SAMBA connections for access to lab
filesystems and secure
SMTP connections for
relaying email through the department mail server. The use of SSH
tunnels is not restricted to these; tunnels can be established for
arbitrary applications. Instructions for establishing a tunnel for a
generic application are provided below. You must have a valid CS
account and an appropriate
ssh client
for your operating system.
