CIS 5930-04 Course Hosts

CIS 5930-04
Spring 2001

Access to Course Host Machines

After registering in the course database, a UNIX account will be created for you in CSIT. Your password will be available from Bryan Carpenter. You can log in to the primary host for the coursework by ssh to:
sirah.csit.fsu.edu

You may also FTP files to sirah.

The host sirah is a Linux file server. There are also several connected Sun systems, including: merlot.csit.fsu.edu and cabernet.csit.fsu.edu. All these systems share home directories etc. You may log in to any of the systems using ssh. This is preferred over telnet. If ssh is not available on your PC, you may be able to download a suitable version from http://sl.us.fsu.edu/SSH.html.

If you are not able to--or not allowed to--install ssh on your PC or workstation, please let us know. We will consider opening up telnet access.

If you have other problems or forget your password, contact Bryan Carpenter.

You should find the basic Java commands (java, javac, etc) are immediately available in you accounts. Basic UNIX editors (vi, emacs) are available. Other software will be installed on an as-needed basis, as the course progresses.
