Connecting to vulcan

Once you are on campus or on the Pace VPN, connecting to vulcan ( vulcan.seidenberg.pace.edu ) can be done through any ssh client. Mac OS X, Linux and recent versions of Windows all include OpenSSH natively, making this easy.

Just open a command prompt and type ssh s22-cla123-s04@vulcan.seidenberg.pace.edu (replace s22-cla123-s04 with the username given to you by your professor).

$ ssh s22-cla123-s04@vulcan.seidenberg.pace.edu
