The College of Information provides wireless access for all students throughout the Louis Shores Building. This same wireless connection is also available throughout most of the FSU campus. Other than this wireless connection, neither FSU nor the College of Information gives out internet access to students.

On Campus

Wired/Ethernet

The College of Information does not have wired (ethernet) internet connections available for students.

Wireless

Wireless internet connections are available throughout the Louis Shores Building and throughout the FSU campus. To connect to the wireless network you will need a wireless network card that is either 802.11b or 802.11g compatible.

Because the current wireless connection does not encrypt your internet traffic, we recommend using the Virtual Private Networking Client when using the FSU wireless network.

To configure your wireless device visit the OTC website http://helpdesk.fsu.edu/internet/wireless/index.cfm.

Off Campus

Dialup

Dialup connections are no longer available for students.

SSH File Transfer Client/Garnet Access

SSH File Transfer Client is an encrypted telnet-like program that if configured correctly can be used to transfer files into your Garnet or iSpace account. You can also use this program to transfer files to your personal website on the Garnet/Mailer server.
