The SSH-Gateway is a service that:
- Allows ssh connections from off campus to on campus servers without the need for VPN.

- Can also be used for SCP/SFTP connections to personal or Organizational web pages on organization.rice.edu (old, deprecated www.ruf.rice.edu )
This is a mechanism for allowing secure connections into machines on the Rice campus without the security risk of opening up SSH to the world.

These same examples can be used to update web pages on the RUF ruf.rice.edu system, which hosts web sites
for Staff, Faculty, or Organizational accounts. Once logged into the SSH Gateway, just enter the hostname
of kennel.ruf.rice.edu to connect to the old, legacy, RUF system.
