The ODU CS Department provides SSH (Secure SHell) access to Linux and Unix servers for CS students. SSH allows you to securely connect to these machines, and use terminal commands to interact with them.
Contents
Unix Account
To gain SSH access, you must use the same CS username / password that you would use to log into our Windows machines.
SSH Clients
To connect using SSH, you must have an SSH client installed on your machine. Linux and Mac have an SSH client ready out of the box, but the Windows 10 client needs to be enabled before it can be used.
For Windows 10 (Fall 2018 build or newer) you must,
- Open Settings.
- Go to Apps, then Apps and Feature, then Optional Features.
- Find the entry for OpenSSH Client (Client, not Server!), click on it, and then click Install.
Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once SSH is enabled on your PC, you can open a terminal by launching the "Terminal" program. From there you can type "ssh USERNAME@linux.cs.odu.edu". You will then be prompted for your CS password.
Available Linux/Unix Servers
Once you have obtained an SSH client, you can visit the Unix and Linux Services page for the information on the available servers and their hostnames for connection.
