FAQ

I miss my editor, what can I do?

• For basic needs, there is gedit, for more advanced usage, we have atom and Visual Studio Code (code) – both allow the installation of plugins for several languages – and for ‘professional’ setups, there is IntelliJ IDEA (idea) which gives you a full IDE (with the Python plugin, it is basically PyCharm). Of course, there is also vim and emacs.

I want to quickly exchange data with other people at the ITB:

• There is a folder /scratch which is accessible from all machines. All files there are deleted after 30 days.

How can I access the ITB network from the outside world?

• OpenVPN: https://itbgit.biologie.hu-berlin.de/itbadmin/OpenVPN-client
• ssh: ssh USERNAME@gate.biologie.hu-berlin.de

I need admin rights to set up a VPN (on my ITB computer):

• Remove the tick where it says ‚make available to others‘

where is my backup???
