How can I read my e-mails on arf out of  campus?
Arf is not open to all kind of connections for the security purposes.

  • For internet access from outside campus through METU dial-up network connection,  you need to use the SSH (Secure Shell) program  to connect to your arf account and use pine or mail programs to read your e-mails.

  • If you want to access to Arf via computer not connected internet through METU dial-up network connection, you can send your IP address of that computer to problem at math.metu.edu.tr and can arrange direct access from this computer to Arf.

  • If you don't have SSH installed on your computer, you may connect to blue.cc.metu.edu.tr (by SSH or telnet --connection using SSH highly recommended) using your beluga (or orca) account and then you need to use ssh to connect to arf.math.matu.edu.tr   (just typing  ssh  account_name@arf.math.metu.edu.tr).

Note that from ODTUKent, one can directly reach to Arf by using SSH and Ftp.

How can I see my files on arf (samba)?
    You need to log on windows using your arf login and then you need to go to Start, Run then write \\arf. The computer will ask for your arf password when you want to see your files. If you write your arf password while you are logging on, this step will be bypassed and you will directly reach  your files on arf.
