CS253: Software Development with C++

Spring 2021

Connect From Non Windows

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@boston.cs.colostate.edu

Instead of username, use your eID. I randomly chose boston.cs.colostate.edu as one of the Linux Lab computers for you.

To transfer a file main.cc from a CS Dept. computer to your local computer:

    ssh -X username@boston.cs.colostate.edu:main.cc .

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.
