Remote Access to IT ServicesA (trial) remote access portal (RAP) has been setup to provide easier access to common resources simply via a web browser. The RAP website makes it easy to remotely access your files, start remote applications sessions, access journals websites etc. Please note that you need to have the Sun Java JRE installed on your machine for this to work. Most modern machines come with it pre-installed, but if you experience difficulties please get an updated version of the JRE from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp . Authenticated SMTP has also been enabled on the departmental mail server. This may be of particular use to mobile users using an IMAP connection to read their email. Traditionally in such a situation sending email required a specific configuration depending on the location. With authenticated sending it is possible to simply configure the mail client to always send via the maths system. Lastly a single web page http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/it/remote-access has been created which list the various options for remote access to email, files, applications and journals. In each section the top option is typically the easiest one to use. |
