You can connect to the School of Computing (SoC) CSE server (cse.unl.edu) and other UNIX servers in the department using the PuTTY SSH client.
PuTTY can be downloaded from the this web site. After you have downloaded and installed PuTTY, you can use it to connect to cse.unl.edu.
Double click the PuTTY icon on the desktop or enter "putty" in the search bar to start PuTTY:
Enter "cse.unl.edu" in the Host Name (or IP address) field and hit enter.
The first time you connect to a remote host, you will receive a message stating: "The server's host key is not cached int the registry. You have to guarantee that the server is the computer you think it is." You should click "Yes" here.
Next, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password. This is your SoC user name and password; this example uses "sac" as the user name and cse.unl.edu as the login server:
If you are prompted for a Verification code: after entering your password, examine the user name you supplied. User names that end digits (1 through 9) are not SoC user names that can be used to login to CSE and other SoC servers.
