GSoC Systems Admin, Scott Dowdle, has set up a Virtual Private Server (VPS) -- a computer on the MSU-Secure network that we may all access by logging on with our MSU NetID and password.
SSH onto the course server (csci331.cs.montana.edu)
- See instructions about To Use Course Server
In class, if laptop or phone is connected to the internet on the MSU-Secure network via Wi-Fi, you can open a terminal window and type:
- ```
ssh -l <netid>@student.montana.edu csci331vm.cs.montana.edu
```
Access your public_html/index.html page online at:
- csci33vm1.cs.montana.edu/~netID.student.montana.edu/index.html
If you are off campus, you will need to connect via a Virtual Private Network (VPN), so that you are securly connected to the MSU-Secure network before you can access the course server. MSU's IT department has posted instructions for downloading and installing a VPN Client to make this possible.
