NWE Help: Intro: Computing: From Home

NWE Home :: Help :: Intro :: Computing

Once you have dialed up Gatorlink or another ISP from home, you can access your email, MOOville, and your web pages through the applications that you've installed on your own machine. Here's a brief introduction to remote access. For more help, see our home, campus, and remote access help pages.

From any web browser, enter the location http://www.nwe.ufl.edu/writing/ to go to the NWE's home site. If you want to go to your own web pages, enter http://www.nwe.ufl.edu/~username/, where username is your NWE user name.

You can use any of the popular email clients (Mozilla's built-in email client, Eudora, or Pine) to send and receive NWE mail from home. You'll need to configure your mail program to handle the IMAP mail protocol.

MOO client applications are also available for PC and Macintosh computers. If you don't have a moo client installed on your home pc, use secure shell (ssh) to connect to login.nwe.ufl.edu and then type tf from the command line.

If you have authored your own web pages from home, use an FTP client to transfer your work to the public_html subdirectory in your NWE account.

The remote access pages of the NWE help pages has a lot more information on software you can use, where to find it, and how to use it.

We do not provide tech support for remote access. You are responsible for configuring your own computer. We provide some help resources as a convenience. If you have problems you may call the UF Computing Help Desk at 392-HELP.
