StudNetBonn

Network Services

FTP mirror, university access, and Wi-Fi — the extra services in the StudNet.

FTP server

On the FTP server ftp.stw-bonn.de you can find current Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Debian. The server is reachable without a VPN, and downloads do not count towards your data volume.

Example entry for /etc/apt/sources.list on Debian:

deb http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/debian/ stable main contrib

ftp.stw-bonn.de is also listed in the official mirror lists of the distributions it mirrors.

University services

Some library and university services, for example from the HRZ, can only be used with a genuine university IP address. The StudNet uses its own address space, separate from the university's — so some of these services don't work otherwise.

To use library and research services such as Juris Online, just append @stw.uni-bonn.de to your normal username at login:

zxxxxx@stw.uni-bonn.de

Your device then gets an Internet IP address from the University of Bonn's address range.

More information on available databases is available from the ULB — University and State Library Bonn, the DBIS database information system and the Electronic Journals Library.

Wi-Fi

At the StudNet Wi-Fi locations there are several networks. Two of them you can use as a dormitory resident: eduroam-stw and StudNet.

eduroam-stw

For eduroam-stw you need an account at a research institution that supports eduroam. Authentication uses the credentials of your university or research institution. Setup is described on the HRZ page of the University of Bonn:

StudNet Wi-Fi

Here you log in with your StudNet credentials — the same ones you use on the wired network.
