ECS UNIX Resources
You may upgrade your Engineering E-mail account to a UNIX
account, which grants you access to several additional UNIX
servers. All of the files in your account are shared by all of
the servers except the Web server, so you don't need to worry
about which machine has the most recent copy of your crucial
project reports.
| Standard Utilities
| | Utilities available on all servers
| | | |
All of our UNIX servers have these utilities (among others)
installed:
| gcc | | GNU's free ANSI-compatible C compiler. Front-ends for Fortran and C++ are also available.
|
| ghostscript/ghostview/gv | | Postscript file viewer.
|
| gzip/gunzip | | a file compression/uncompression utility
|
| perl | | a fairly easy-to-learn, versatile programming
language.
|
| pico | | a basic text editor. pine uses this by default
|
| scp | | a secure file-transfer program. Use this instead of ftp.
|
| ssh | | a secure communication program. Use this instead of telnet.
|

cousin (vim)

|
| mail.engr.uky.edu
| | College Web Mail Server
| | | |
This is the machine you connect to
when you read or download your e-mail, or to do a few
account-managing things, like changing your password or setting
up your e-mail to forward to another account.
You can download your mail from this system with any program
that supports either IMAP or POP mail protocol (Thunderbird, Netscape
(Communicator) Mail, Pegasus, Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express,
etc).
Or you could use a web browser, pointed at
http://mail.engr.uky.edu to read your mail through our Webmail
interface.
| | www.engr.uky.edu | | College Web Server
| | | |
Web server for Faculty, Staff, Students, and Groups related to
the College of Engineering.
If you'd like a personal account on our web server, send e-mail to
help@engr.uky.edu and request one. Please include your UKID number in
the e-mail. (The request is not automatically processed, so it may
take a few hours for one of us to get to it, especially if you make
your request late at night.)
We don't moderate our web server for content, but we do ask that
you keep your material within the bounds of good taste and
legality. If we do find something illegal or terribly
offensive, we will remove it, probably without warning.

MATLAB, Maple, Tecplot, ANSYS, or other software.
