Software Download
We maintain several servers for the distribution of Windows and
MacOS software at the University of Oregon. Historically, our servers were only
used for public domain software (now better know as freeware). However, they
currently contain UO site-licensed and shareware, in addition to freeware. Due
to licensing restrictions, our servers are only available to those connected
to the UO network, or connected via VPN.
Off Campus? (Both Macintosh and Windows)
VPN software can be used to make your computer appear to be transparently connected to UOnet. The fastest way to get access (without loading software on your PC) is through our WebVPN. Once connected via the WebVPN, the URL you need is either "public.uoregon.edu/windows" or "ccpd.uoregon.edu/macintosh."
Macintosh
- MacOS X: From the Go menu, select "Connect to server" and
enter "ccpd.uoregon.edu" (or simply click here)

This only works on MacOS 8.5 or higher.
