Terminal Server

go back to Main Page, Computational Resources, Services

The terminal server is a program that gives you access to a Windows computer Desktop. This allows you to use some software that you don't have in your own computer (Materials Lab, Above Acrobat Professional, SciFinder, Microsoft products, Gauss View, Gaussian, and others).

To have access into it you will need to have an account (ask Martin for one)

How to get to the terminal server:

from a Linux PC you need to use the rdesktop, to the terminal server (10.0.7.248). There are different options that you can use according to your needs.

You might use the command:

rdesktop -g1024x768 -kes -b 10.0.7.248:3389 &

or you may prefer:

rdesktop 10.0.7.248 -u username -g 90% -k es -r disk:name=/home/username/

-u: Your username -g: Desktop geometry (WxH). If geometry is the special word "workarea" -k: Keyboard layout to emulate (e.g en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv ) -r disk: Redirects a path to the share (your machine), a directory called name will appear in "your computer"

from a Windows PC:

* connect to remote desktop (Todos los programas -> Accesorios -> Comunicaciones -> Conexión a Escritorio Remoto)
* enter the IP of the Terminal Server: 10.0.7.248:3389
