The losaltos.fhda.edu machine is currently off-line and you will not be able to communicate with it via SFTP or a terminal program. I will post here when it comes back on-line.

You can communicate with our other machines:

london.fhda.edu
paris.fhda.edu
kyoto.fhda.edu

Update 2:00 pm - The losaltos machine is back up and running.

I just got the following email about a change in ETUDES from a non-secure environment to become a secure web server. So the change will affect us all, but not too much really.

And it is happening in just hours, so I am sure it will be a surprise for on-line users.

We’re implementing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for ETUDES-NG on Wednesday, November 21, at 4:00-4:30AM. We do not expect this to take more time than our routine server 15 minutes maintenance window. An SSL Certificate enables encryption of sensitive information during online transactions.

Once this is in place, our address will start with https:// instead of http://. The old address to our Gateway will continue to work. It will redirect users. The first time you reach ETUDES-NG after SSL is enabled, you will be prompted to accept a secure certificate from ETUDES-NG. Select "Accept this certificate permanently" and click on OK, if you don’t want to have to do this every time you log into your sites.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
