The main computing platforms in CIS are Sun Solaris, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.

For a detailed list of computers in our department, see the Computing Labs page.

Wireless Access

The CIS Wireless network is now managed by the K-State Computing and Network Services (CNS) department. To gain access to the network, you will need to have a valid [[1]] and follow [instructions] listed on the CNS website.

Remote Access

Remote Windows Access

The CIS Department maintains two servers setup for Remote Desktop access. You may connect to either one of these servers from anywhere on- or off-campus.

Anyone with a CIS Account (this is separate from your eID account) may login to remote.cis.ksu.edu. Other university members may connect to remote-ksu.cis.ksu.edu using their eID and eID password.

Use the following table to complete the login information. Note: You must prefix your username with the appropriate domain name in the format of: domain\<username>

Login With	Domain	Server	IP
CIS Users	USERS	remote.cis.ksu.edu	129.130.11.31
eID Auth	WIN	remote-ksu.cis.ksu.edu	129.130.11.24

CIS Department Users

Anyone with a CIS Account (this is separate from your eID account) may login to remote.cis.ksu.edu.

Login With	Server	Domain	IP
CIS Account	remote.cis.ksu.edu	WIN	129.130.11.31

Non CIS Department Users

Other university members without a CIS Account may connect to remote-ksu.cis.ksu.edu using their eID and eID password. (This is the same password used for iSIS, and Webmail)

Login With	Server	Domain	IP
eID Auth	remote-ksu.cis.ksu.edu	USERS	129.130.11.24

Remote Linux Access

You may remotely access the department Linux shell server from anywhere on- or off-campus an SSH client. While on another Unix-based machine (such as BSD, Linux, Solaris, or MacOS X) you can open a terminal window and type:

ssh cislinux.cis.ksu.edu

OR:

ssh cisunix.cis.ksu.edu

If you want to do this from Microsoft Windows, then you need to locate a secure shell program, such as [[2]].

Transferring Files

To upload or download files between your local system and your CIS account, an SCP program is recommended. Like SSH, SCP is secure. A popular SCP program for Microsoft Windows is [[3]].

Another way to transfer files from a Linux host is using the command line. Start with logging in with an SFTP sesion with

sftp username@cislinux.cis.ksu.edu

To upload files

put local_filename remote_filename

To upload a direcotry

put -r local_directory/ remote_directory/

To download files

get remote_filename local_filename

To downlaod a directory

get -r remote_directory/ loacl_directory/

Due to security concerns, we are trying to eliminate clear text passwords from being sent over the Internet. Thus, use of telnet, FTP, POP3, and non-encrypted IMAP have been disabled.
