UNIX account frequently asked questions

How do I access my ENGR account?

Find a terminal or personal computer connected to the campus network. For example the computers in Milne, Hovland, or your department's computer lab are on the network. "SSH" to "flop.engr.oregonstate.edu" or "access.engr.oregonstate.edu". On an Windows computer in some labs, SSH is found on the desktop. On a Macintosh in the Hovland lab, open a console and run 'ssh'.

At the "login:" prompt that appears after connecting to an ENGR UNIX host, type your ENGR login name and hit return. At the "Password:" prompt, type your ENGR password and return. Your password will not display on your screen as you type.
