Shell Access This document describes the rudimentary steps in establishing a connection to the Athens, Corinth, or Cronus servers in order to run server hosted applications such as SAS or MatLab. It is assumed you have already have an account on one of those systems username and password, if you do not go to the accounts howto. Shell logins A shell login to one of the SSCS servers allows you to run hosted applications. You must use Secure SHell (SSH) to connect to any of the SSD servers. SSH is a connection protocol that encrypts the communication to and from the server. The primary advantage of SSH is that it can support several different unsecured protocols (eg telnet, ftp). All SSCS servers will accept connections from SSH enabled telnet or ftp clients. Connecting via SSH telnet will allow you to have command-line access to the servers. You can manipulate files and execute program which reside on the server. Connecting via SSH ftp (SFTP) will allow you to moves onto or from he server. - SSH on a UNIX and UNIX-like machines
- Most other UNIX and UNIX-like machines (such as harper.uchicago.edu) will already have an SSH client installed, you can find out by entering the command
username@athens.src.uchicago.edu from any terminal prompt. If an error appears please contact the site administrator Note: Mac OS X and Linux are UNIX-like machines. - SSH from Windows
- Secure Shell for workstations is freely available for download. After downloading and installing this program start the program and select QuickConnect. Enter the server you want to connect to (ie athens.src.uchicago.edu, corinth.spc.uchicago.edu, or cronus.spc.uchicago.edu).
