Biochemistry/Bioinformatics Server Account Application Page

If you are a member of the Biochemistry Department at UTHSC in San Antonio you can apply for an account on the Biochemistry/Bioinformatics Departmental Unix Servers by filling out one of the application forms below. Currently, we have three separate servers on which you may have an account. Which account(s) you need to apply for depends on the type of service that you require. Please be aware that you, the owner of your data, are responsible for protecting your own data on our server. If you store sensitive data on our server you need to make sure that you protect your data from access by unauthorized users. If you are unsure about what you need to do contact Borries Demeler for a consultation.

The options are:

1. Biochemistry Server (www.)biochem.uthscsa.edu
   E-mail accounts including webmail and pop access, example: user@biochem.uthscsa.edu, departmental web service, PERL and PHP, shell accounts for web pages only. Web service is secure, and all access requires ssh/scp to upload information.
2. Biochemistry Server (2) (www.)biochem2.uthscsa.edu
   This server can be accessed with insecure protocols, such as ftp. It offers departmental web service, and provides shell accounts for editing web pages. Web service is insecure, and all access can be performed with ftp. ssh and scp are still available. If desired, any webpage can be synchronized with the secure webserver or linked from the secure webserver. Users wishing to use this service should contact Jeremy Mann (x7-2672) for details.
