The most simple way to access the virtual LWP (vLWP) session, is by using a web browser.

For that, simply open vlwp.rug.nl/ in a browser tab and login with your UG credentials.

Afterwards, first select “Create a new desktop or custom session”.

In the next window, simply select “Create a new virtual session” to start the vLWP session.

During first start, you will be presented with different settings that you can select according to your likely. If you are asked about the behavior of resizing the window/desktop, we would recommend that you select the option for automatically adjusting the remote resolution which will make it easier if you resize the window.

Once in your virtual session, you also have access to the LWP Home and Project directories, but also to the X/Y drive that are available via UFC/UWP/VWP (Your X drive might not appear directly, see info in the LWP wiki).

Note that you do not have access to your local files in this way!

If you want to adjust the setting of your current virtual LWP session or want to terminate it, you can reveal the menu by hovering over the top-right corner, which should reveal a button. Clicking on it will open the menu where you can make adjustments and close the connection.
