To facilitate GUI access to classroom and hallway systems, we have opened up remote desktop connections for DSC faculty and students with valid departmental account. Please email help@sc.fsu.edu if you have any difficulty.

  1. Install "Microsoft Remote Desktop" for Mac; Windows users already have this app by default.
  2. Open terminal for Mac; command prompt for Windows
    Run the following command to create a tunnel to hostname (classXX or hallway-X where XX = 02 through 19; X = a through e)
    ssh -L:3389:hostname.sc.fsu.edu:3389 your_fsuid@pamd.sc.fsu.edu (Mac)
    ssh -L:13389:hostname.sc.fsu.edu:3389 your_fsuid@pamd.sc.fsu.edu (Windows)
    Login and keep this tunnel for the next step
  3. Start Microsoft Remote Desktop (Mac) / Add PC
    PC name: localhost
    Friendly name: My tunnel to classroom (whatever name you prefer)
    Open this newly created "My tunnel to classroom" and login to the pre-selected hostname
    NOTE: You can safely ignore certificates warning by clicking on "Continue"

    Start Remote Desktop Connection (Windows) / Show Options
    Computer: "localhost:13389"
    User name: "your_fsuid"
    Click on "Connect" and login to the pre-selected hostname
    NOTE: You can safely ignore certificates warning by clicking on "Yes"
