Software setup (Windows)

These instructions follow Ohio State's page, "Remote SSH Access to ASC Services (SSH Jump Host)"

Note: All instructions are written with Windows users in mind. If you are a Mac user, you should visit the link above for details about software and connection details. I will try to mention in each page specifically when I know instructions are Windows-specific.

Software

Install the most recent version of each of these three programs. I followed all default / recommended prompts.

PuTTY

• Connects to Unity command line using SSH

  • https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

WinSCP

• GUI used to transfer files between your computer and Unity

  • https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

Notepad++ (optional)

• Specialized editor for various types of plain text files (.bat, .sh, .txt, etc)

• We will use it to strip hidden Windows characters from other text files so they can be read on Unity
