Remote Access to Computing at NC State University

North Carolina State University provides services to remotely connect its students, faculty, and staff to the campus computing system. This site contains instructions for utilizing these remote access services.

Although this site is maintained by the College of Engineering, its contents apply to campus-wide resources.

Currently, NC State provides:

• Web-based Services
• Unix/Linux Applications from Windows | Linux | Macintosh
• Virtual Computing Lab
• Unix Batch Processing
• Secure File Transfer
• Native Access to AFS

Making Connections

Connecting to NC State from off campus first requires that you have Internet access provided by an Internet Service Provider. We also recommend that you have a high-speed connection through DSL or cable modem rather than a dialup modem.

To protect the privacy of those who use our services, we use secure, encrypted communication for the services we provide. Also, whenever possible, we use free open-source technology to implement remote access.
