Local Terminal

Linux or Mac users: A linux terminal is part of the OS. You are all set and good to go. Windows users: You either install a SSH client (see list below) or you unleash Ubuntu. There are (too) many online tutorials for installing Ubuntu on Windows, pick the one you like. Lost or too lazy to search? Here a possible step-by-step protocol (but do not blame us if it does not work): ITs FOSS.

SSH Clients for Windows:

Guest Account on GDC Server

You will be a guest on the GDC compute server. Please respect a few simple rules!

  • Your student account will expire by the end of the workshop.
  • Do not share your login information with anybody.
  • Use only the student guest account assigned to you.
  • To not use your account for anything else than your course assignments.
  • If you have problems or need help, ask!

SSH Info

SSH is a protocol through which you can access a remote server and run shell commands. SSH is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which makes it difficult for these communications to be intercepted and read.

Remote Server GDCSRV2

Login to GDC compute server at ETH using ssh:

## GDC Server Login
ssh student<??>@gdcsrv2.ethz.ch # replace ?? with your student number

After you executed the ssh command the server will ask for a password. You will not see what you type for security reasons. You could copy & paste your password to prevent typos.
