Desktop Anywhere
Introduction
Desktop Anywhere provides students and research postgraduates with secure remote access to University IT services from most computers which have Internet access.
Once logged in, students have access to the following facilities via a familiar cluster-style desktop:
- Some of the most frequently used applications on the ISS cluster desktop
- Home directory (M: drive) and departmental shared areas (N: drive)
- On-campus services such as departmental intranet sites and Library services
- Cluster printing
Desktop Anywhere is accessible from off-campus via the internet or the University residence network, and from on campus via the University wireless network. It is easy to use and works on many different operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux) and browsers.
