MoCoSIN Remote Access over the Internet

Those wishing to access MoCoSIN from either the campus network or off campus should SSH directly to unix.best.cs.moravian.edu (batboat, batplane, batmobile).

    Those who access MoCoSIN remotely primarily to check their e-mail should consider the improved webmail server.

MoCoSIN users can now access their shell account at any time, from anywhere in the world, using a protocol called Secure Shell (SSH). SSH provides an encrypted, safe connection to MoCoSIN, and adds several other functionalities for more advanced users. (For those who have used Telnet and FTP in the past, these methods of access are basically insecure and are being phased out.)

SSH Clients
SSH requires a client program that does not come with most computers. MoCoSIN may be accessed with any of the following free software:
  • Windows users should get the excellent SSH for Windows from SSH Communications Security, Inc.
  • Macintosh users can run MacSSH.
  • The OpenSSH project offers an open-source client for UNIX, plus links to several other alternatives.
    • Using SSH
    Point your client to unix.best.cs.moravian.edu, and you will always be directed to the most available server.
