Connecting to AEM/Enet Resources via SSH

AEM/Enet users can access AEM/Enet machines via SSH (please see SSH-RESTRICTED from OUTSIDE).

Note: From outside AEM/Enet networks you can only ssh to:

  • ssh.aem.umn.edu
  • ssh2.aem.umn.edu
  • ssh.enet.umn.edu (this is a data transfer gateway)
They are equivalent machines which allow all users from both domains to log in.
ssh.enet.umn.edu has a higher volume connection to everything (and will generally be less responsive due to the load of transferring data)
NOTE: You do NOT need to use VPN to connect to the ssh gateways (they are available from everywhere).
From the ssh gateways, you can ssh to other AEM/Enet network machines if you wish.

From inside our buildings you may directly ssh into any internal machine which supports ssh (we recommend this whenever possible).

Windows-based SSH

We recommend that Windows users check out this page for SSH client programs:
SSH for Windows

SSH from Apple MacOS X and Linux/Unix

Both Apple MacOS X and Linux have a built in ssh client program.

On both - start a terminal app and the command is "ssh"
