This guide details a two-stage process for accessing the ULgbc5 system from Windows using SSH and a graphical interface that supports X-Windows. First, you'll establish a secure shell (SSH) connection using third-party software, such as PuTTY or Cygwin. You'll learn how to configure PuTTY for optimal use, navigate its terminal screen, and make fast edits. With X-Windows support, you'll gain access to a graphical editor and multiple terminals. Explore tools like Exceed for enhanced Linux-like environments and streamline your workflow.
