METU students use "Beluga" central servers to connect. You can go to one of the PC-Rooms located in the METU campus. Then, by the help of a PC-Room operator, you can run SSH on one of the PCs within the PC-Room and connect to the central servers.

Connection with SSH:

SSH - Secure Shell is a secure alternative program to Telnet and FTP programs, which are used for remote accessing to systems. SSH is secure; because the program encrypts all the data communication and this encryption process covers the user passwords as well. If, in case the network traffic is being sniffed, it will not be possible for the third parties to extract valuable data or information that is transmitted by SSH program within that traffic.

Users can download and install SSH Secure Shell - Secure Shell Client software from the following address:
