#REDIRECT [[Using your computer with CAEDM#Remote Computing]]

===Citrix===
+
[[Citrix]] allows your laptop, tablet, or even phone to remotely run most software available in the [[CAEDM_Labs| CAEDM labs]].  Use for example, Word or Mathcad from from a smartphone or laptop over any wireless connection.  Citrix handles most applications well, but high-end graphics will require [[RGS]].

===J Drive / Personal Filespace===
+
The [[J Drive]] is a convenient place to store your files.  It provides a generous amount of space, and it's backed up every night. It is available in the lab, on [[RGS]] and [[Citrix]].  You can even map it to your home machine, or access it via [[SCP]].
+
 
+
===SSH (Secure Shell)===
+
[[SSH]] provides a Linux command shell, and if needed, low-performance graphical access from anywhere.  You may need to install client software.  If you need access to a high-performance graphical Linux interface, use [[RGS]].
+
===Printing===
+
Install the [[Printing#CAEDM Print Driver|CAEDM Print Driver]], and print to any CAEDM printer from any Windows computer.
+
 
+
===VPN (Virtual Private Network)===
+
If all else fails, use the [[VPN]].  Most of CAEDM's services are available on and off-campus without using the VPN, but sometimes it is necessary.

The table above displays which CAEDM resources are available based on which internet access you are using.
+
 
+
*The term 'on-campus' means using the BYU wired network.
+
 
+
*'''The best choice while on campus is to use the BYU wired network''' by plugging in physically to the wall jack '''or to use BYU Secure wireless'''.
+
 
+
*BYU Guest wireless severely limits the choices of available resources while on campus.
+
 
+
*If you are connecting from an off-campus internet connection, it is possible to utilize most CAEDM resources remotely. Note that some resources may require the use of the CAEDM [[VPN]] for off-campus access. See the above table for details.
