UBUNIX

University at Buffalo UNIX Remote Access Facility

Register To Transfer Files to UBUnix

Beginning Tuesday April 14th, 2009, telnet to UBUnix will be disabled. Continue to register here to connect to UBUnix; use an ssh application such as PuTTY on Windows or ssh from a terminal on UBUnix or Macintosh to connect.

File transfer (ftp) to UBUnix from a non-UB location is available only to faculty, staff and students affiliated with the University at Buffalo and a remote (non-UB) IP address must be registered here.

You do not have to register an IP address if you use a secure application such as:

  • sftp from a UNIX operating system,
  • FileZilla using sftp from a Windows computer, or
  • Fetch from a Macintosh

    Access for a Week

    From the non-UB location you want to register and to transfer files for one week or less, enter your UBITName in the box and click Go.

    Username: ------>

    From Other Locations or Longer than a Week

    The default host address shown below has been automatically detected from you current location. Access will be permitted from that addre ss plus a range of similar addresses if you use different machines at your non-UB location.

    You can change the IP address displayed. Each of the 4 fields in the address must contain a number between 1 and 255, except for the last field. Leave the last field blank (not zero) to specify a network address instead of a host address.

    Enter your UBITName and change the IP address fields if desired before clicking Go (above).

    I need access for week(s) from address . . .
