Accounts on ACCC Unix workstations are available for campus uses such as webpage hosting, learning Unix, and research. To log in or to transfer files to or from an ACCC Unix workstation, you must use SSH (Secure SHell) or SFTP (Secure FTP) or SCP (Secure CoPy) programs, which provide encrypted communications.
