This page lists the things you'll need to know about when you want to work from home.
First - data security
For essential security measures, and to learn what you must do before handling personal or sensitive data, see this page before going any further:
Learning and teaching from home
Remote working while travelling
Get access to Informatics computers
Before you can access Informatics computers remotely, you will need to be using a VPN.
Once your VPN is connected, you can use the DICE desktop environment remotely with the remote desktop service.
If you want a text-only login to DICE, see External login (ssh) servers.
If you have your own computer in an office, you can wake it up remotely.
If none of this seems to work, see How to test your network.
Working from your home computer
- Mail: you can read and send it from anywhere.
- Licensed software for personal machines, including MATLAB.
- Online Meetings.
- Remote access to restricted web pages.
- Where are my files?
Backups
If you keep University files on your own computer, you should make backup copies of them.
