BE users can connect to the following Linux servers using their BSOE account credentials:
- gateway.soe.ucsc.edu (Alma 9) Open to connection outside of UCSC IP space
- ssh.soe.ucsc.edu (Alma 9) Open to connection outside of UCSC IP space
- firedance.soe.ucsc.edu (Alma 9)
- riverdance.soe.ucsc.edu (Alma 9)
- swingdance.soe.ucsc.edu (Ubuntu 24 LTS)
- udance.soe.ucsc.edu (Ubuntu 24 LTS)
- deepcore.soe.ucsc.edu (CentOS 7.9) GPU (1 - 4600 core Titan RTX card) server using CUDA software
To connect to our Linux servers, you must have an SSH client installed on your computer.
*** Please Note ***
From outside of UCSC IP space the only servers open for ssh connections are gateway.soe.ucsc.edu and ssh.soe.ucsc.edu. All other servers in the above listing are only open to connection from USCS IP space and eduroam IP space.
*** Important Note ***
If you need to transfer files between your BE home directory and your home computer, you must use UCSC VPN service. Once you are on campus VPN, you can connect to the linux servers directly, and make the file transfer.
For Windows users, we recommend PuTTY. Macintosh and Linux users can open a Terminal window and type ssh login@servername.soe.ucsc.edu to connect (replacing login with your BSOE login name, and servername.soe.ucsc.edu with one of the servers listed above).
