Remote Access

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

RDP allows you to remotely connect to Windows computers, and has been configured at WSC. The RDP gateway is remote.filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk, and is configured on Dynamic, so all connections are made through that. On Windows 11 or other devices and operating systems, you may need to download this manually from online or from the Microsoft store.

To connect to a WSC computer:

1. Open the Remote Desktop Connection program (if not found, try installing Windows App from your app store), click on Advanced, then configure the Remote Desktop Gateway Settings.
2. Set the RD Gateway Server Name to remote.filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk, then click OK.
3. Go back to the main page, and type the name of the WSC computer you wish to connect to. Our desktops are called Aardman, Dreamworks and Warner.
4. You should be prompted for your WSC credentials, and should then be able to connect. Remember to preface your username with FilmSoc\.

SSH

The WSC SSH Portal can be accessed by connecting to warwick.film via SSH on port 22. From there, SSH can be used to access other WSC machines.

To connect with SSH, you will need an SSH client.

• On Windows you can use either PuTTY or MobaXterm.
• On Linux you can run the below command to install SSH (although it will likely be installed by default, and then ssh <your_WSC_username>@warwick.film from the terminal to connect).

   sudo apt install -y openssh-client

Version Control

• Currently using git and a local installation of GitLab, available at https://gitlab.warwick.film/.
• Speak to the IT Officer to get access to GitLab.

If there are any issues, email the IT Officer.
