ARCHIVED: Use Terminal to connect to Webserve

Note:

Due to the evolving coronavirus situation, the retirement of Webserve was delayed until April 16 to allow classes that reference sites on Webserve to continue with minimal disruption.

All remaining Webserve sites were disabled beginning April 16, along with login access to webserve.iu.edu. If you have websites that still need to be moved to IU Sitehosting, you should migrate immediately.

For Mac users, UITS suggests using Terminal as your Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) client. To do so:

  1. Open the Terminal program. You can find it using Finder.

  2. Type ssh account@webserve.iu.edu, replacing account with the name of your account. Hit Enter. When prompted, enter your account password.

You will be at the command prompt. You may now use Unix commands to work with your account.
