Hey! Thanks for the info! This doesn't sound like it'll be too bad after
all. I'll give this a shot on monday. But THANK YOU because I am a lot more
confident in this task knowing this. However I imagine that downloading to
my laptop and scp'ing it up will be just as ok to do. As this is a 'private
cloud' machine that I have no physical access to. Maybe I should've
mentioned that as well.

 To clarify, are you referring to a host firewall (e.g. single Linux system

It's actually the later. It's an F5 acting as both a firewall and load
balancer. Tho we won't need the load balancing capabilities for Jenkins. So
if I read you correctly, we should be OK with outgoing, but no incoming
access to run it. And to install it, the java -jar method should be fine?!?

Thanks
Tim
