Tag: ssh

For my UC Davis ECS courses, I needed to login to the cs computers remotely from my vista pc. I keep forgetting so here’s some basic steps:
1) install Cygwin to get a basic unix terminal-like environment
2) type “startx” to start an x terminal window
3) ssh into the cs computers by filling in []: “ssh -XY [username]@pc[12].cs.ucdavis.edu
you can check which computers are free at: http://csifdocs.cs.ucdavis.edu/tiki-view_articles.php
4) now the regular files & directories should be visible.
