2. Create and use a virtual desktop

   • Try TigerVNC (download).

     • Download: vncviewer64-1.13.1.exe​

3. Windows File Share Samba​

4. Mac File Share

5. Important considerations:

   • If you're on grounds, then you should either connect on the EduRoam network (if using WiFi) or tell Mark to open up the firewall (if using a physical connection).​

     • ​​ The server's firewall must be open to your specific connection portal. If your connection is refused, then ask Mark. The following command can be used to open the firewall to a specific port:

       • sudo ufw allow from YOUR IP to any port XXXX.

         • XXXX refers to the port. Here are some useful ports:​

           • 590X: VNC​

           • 22: ssh (i.e., terminal)

           • 445 samba (file sharing)

   • If you're off grounds, then connect to UVA's network using Cisco's VPN Client software (link to install)
