Secure Shell (SSH} is a program that you use to log into other machines securely.
You MUST be connected to the NU GlobalProtect VPN if you are off-campus.
Windows users can get a free copy of the program at one of the following locations:

  http://www.ece.neu.edu/~fdellap/ssh.exe
  http://www.putty.org
  See MobaXTerm for another SSH client for Windows.

SSH is built-in on Macs. Just open a Terminal window and type "ssh -Y -l username gateway.coe.neu.edu" (substitute your own username).
The destination hostname is "gateway.coe.neu.edu".
Enter your COE username and press enter, which will then prompt you for your COE password.
