Connecting to a CS Department Linux Computer from Anything but Windows
From Linux or Mac OS X:
From a terminal window, type:
ssh -X username@providence.cs.colostate.edu
Instead of username, use your NetID.
I randomly chose providence.cs.colostate.edu as one of the
Linux Lab computers for you.
To transfer a file main.cc from a CS Dept. computer
to the desktop of your local computer, execute this command
in a terminal window on your local computer:
ssh -X username@providence.cs.colostate.edu:main.cc ~/Desktop/
From an iPhone or iPod Touch
I have no experience with iPhones or similar products.
However, a student told me this:
There are SSH programs for the iPhone/iPod Touch that allow you to
access the terminal in the CSU computers. The one that I found and
downloaded is called Touch Terminal, works perfectly, and only cost $4.
From an Android phone or tablet
I use JuiceSSH, which is free.
I may be crazy, but even I wouldn’t do homework on a phone.
