3. Connecting

To make a VPN connection to the TCC:

Click the NetworkManager applet, then choose VPN Connections > and TCC (your new connection).
Enter your TCC password in the Authenticate VPN dialogue, then click the OK button.

Once you have opened your VPN tunnel, your machine is effectively on the TCC network. You can use TCC machines in these ways, and more:

To log in to a TCC system, use this command:
```
ssh hostname
```
where hostname is the name of the system, such as rainbow.
Your Web browser can access any Web page on the Internet.
You can transfer files with sftp (Secure File Transfer Protocol) or scp (Secure Copy). See the man pages for sftp and scp.
