  • A basic knowledge of Linux (e.g. how to login, edit files, use ssh and scp, etc).
  • A legitimate need for Office of Research Computing resources.
  • CFS-track faculty may create an account without a sponsor. All others must be sponsored by a faculty member who has an account.

Questions about SSH clients and Linux should be directed to your department CSR or your favorite search engine.
