Question 4 (2010):

Submission reference: IN1974

How do you login into raptor? I have set up my password but have no idea what to log into. If raptor is a software package it's not installed on campus where I am. Do I need to download putty to login?

Answer 4:

You're correct in that you need to download (and use) putty to login to raptor. putty is just an SSH client, so any other SSH client would do (putty is free and works pretty well though). If you're on a Unix or Linux system, just use the "ssh" command to login.

As mentioned in the first OS lecture, raptor is a Sun Enterprise server located in the machine room, thus the only way to login is remotely (via ssh).
