Shell Commands/Tools
SSH
Secure SHell is a network protocol that allows remote console (i.e. terminal) login from one machine to another. The Midd CS department machines all support SSH from the on-campus network. In addition, there is one machine (basin) that is specifically given a hole in the Midd firewall to allow off-campus connections.
You can find the manual page for the SSH command here. From the manual, the SSH command looks complicated; it's not! There are many optional arguments supported, but to get basic functionality all you need to supply to the command is the username you want to connect with and which machine you want to connect to. If the connection can be established, you will be prompted for the password of the account you are trying to connect with. If the connection cannot be established, you will be given some form of a "cannot resolve hostname" error.
NOTE: The examples below are all in UNIX format. To use SSH from a windows, please see the PuTTY section.
On-campus format:
{user@my-machine ~} ssh <username>@machine-name
OR
{user@my-machine ~} ssh <username>@machine-ip
Ex:
{user@my-machine ~} ssh user@killington
{user@my-machine ~} ssh user@140.233.20.155
Off-campus format (remember, basin is the only machine available from off-campus):
{user@my-machine ~} ssh <username>@machine-name.domain-name
OR
{user@my-machine ~} ssh <username>@public-facing-ip
Ex:
{user@my-machine ~} ssh user@basin.cs.middlebury.edu
{user@my-machine ~} ssh user@140.233.20.6
Tip: If you are off-campus and need to connect to a specific machine (or if your computer is having trouble resolving machine names), you can tunnel through basin to the machine you need with two ssh commands.
Ex:
{user@my-machine ~} ssh basin.cs.middlebury.edu
{user@basin ~} ssh killington
OR the shorthand version
{user@my-machine ~} ssh -t basin.cs.middlebury.edu ssh killington
