For shell access to command line tools:
> ssh -Y emboss.uit.tufts.edu
For access to the web interface wEmboss.
For access to emboss web documentation.

Bioinformatic related FAQs
NOTE all previous Seqweb user data has been removed as of Oct. 2010
Where are my old seqweb sequences:
Your old seqweb data is at: /nfshome/seqweb/users/your-user-name/
There you will find three directories with your data:
result state work
You may retrieve these with a file transfer program like
WinScp (http://(www.winscp.org) and store locally on your pc/mac. You may then
use a local web browser to look at the old seqweb data. You may also cut and paste sequence data into a wEmboss web session.
If I use the web interface to emboss where is data stored:
wemboss data is written into a directory called wProjects under your shell account. The path will be: /home/your-user-name/wProjects/
Will I have access to my old gcg shell account and data:
Your home directory on the old bioinformatic server is mounted as your directory on the new emboss server. However, access is via a shell login, not with the web interface, wEmboss.
