How To Login To Acres

SSH

Access to Acres is limited to a few connection points, and is tightly controlled. SSH is the only way to access Acres, with most networks having access by pivoting through Polaris.

Windows, Linux, or Mac Terminal

From most terminals, SSH is installed by default. SSH access to Polaris can simply be done through the terminal by using ssh acres.clarkson.edu.

However, since Acres is extremely locked down, you may need to 'jump' through Polaris when on a more restricted network. For accessing Polaris, see this bookstack article. From Polaris, you should be able to SSH to Acres directly.
