Webserver User Access

First of all you need to have VPN with anyconnect: https://www.hiz-saarland.de/dienste/vpn/ (without VPN you need to use our jumphost styx configured)

Install brew, osxfuse and sshfs

The Dollar sign stands for MacOSX terminal command prompt. You should type all commands after the Dollar sign.

Replace ag-prof with your group login to the webserver not equivalent with login for Math Department.

The path for /users/local/ should be adapted to your local username.
