  1. Remote Access • Telnet • FTP

  2. Applications and Communications • Telnet • Program for accessing systems remotely. • Available on Windows and most Unix systems. • Many different applications for windows are available free on the internet. • Some are easy and free…. • Putty.exe Offers secure login. • Others are ‘systems’ and may cost money • Cygwin, x-win32

  3. Telnet Windows • A telnet program comes standard on all Windows installations. • Start - > run - > telnet [remote address] • [remote address] is the full address of the system you wish to connect to. • To access miller • telnet miller.cs.uwm.edu • To access your alpha account • telnet alphaR.csd.uwm.edu (replace R in alphaR with the first letter of your last name.)

  4. Telnet Unix • telnet is installed on miller and grid as well. Useful if you need to access a different account or a different system (i. e. alpha) • At command prompt type telnet [remote address] • miller.cs: telnet alphaR.csd.uwm.edu • You’ll be prompted for login and password • With both UNIX and Windows telnet, once you are logged in the telnet window becomes your UNIX xsession window. • Can use most of the commands you would normally use on a local machine.

  5. Telnet in CEAS Labs • Has standard Windows telnet • Use SSH Secure Shell Client, click to launch. • Click ‘quick connect key’ • Will prompt you for a host name and login name. Enter them, click <Connect> • The SSH client looks like the UNIX xsession that you see in e270. • You can launch as many telnet sessions as you need. So if you need 3 windows, launch tree sessions of telnet / SSH / Putty

  6. Putty - > Easy, Free telnet client • General search for ‘Putty.exe’ will give you a download site. • http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html • There is no installation involved. • Offers secure shell login • Features UNIX style cut and paste • Most current version supports emacs • Can modify terminal settings (color/size/fonts)

  7. Telnet Don’t s • Cannot use any external applications that exist on the UNIX system. • For example, you cannot run Netscape or emacs in telnet. • Cannot explicitly save a file to miller from your local machine. • Cannot print to your local machine from the telnet window.

  8. FTP – File Transfer Protocol • Easiest and most convenient way to transfer files between systems. • Basic ftp comes standard on all Windows installations. • Many free GUI’s of FTP available. Get one. They are easier to use than command line FTP • WS_ftp • Cuteftp • Need to know three things before beginning: • 1.) Address • 2.) Login • 3.) Password

  9. FTP - Windows • Working from the command line. Both Windows and Unix command line work mostly the same with the same commands. • Windows command line ftp • Start - > run - > ftp [address of remote system] • Launches command window.

  10. FTP - Windows • Commands. • help – Lists all the commands for the system you are on. • open [address] • ex. ftp> open miller.cs.uwm.edu • dir or ls - lists all directories/files. • cd [directory] • get/send (or put) [filename] - You send from the local machine and get from the distant machine. • close - close ftp connection • quit - quit ftp session

  11. FTP – UNIX • Works the same as Windows • Run from command prompt: • miller.cs: ftp • ftp> open alphar.csd.uwm.edu • Same commands….. • help, open, close, dir, quit • To get a brief description of a particular command • help [command] • Example. ftp> help open
