Connecting to ix or ix-dev with ssh
First, make sure that you know your ix account username and password. If you have forgotten them, try resetting your password at https://systems.cs.uoregon.edu/apps/forgotten.php (if that fails, email systems@cs.uoregon.edu).
If you are on a Unix machine (including Macs), open a shell or Terminal window (on a Mac, you will find the Terminal application in Applications/Utilities), and at the prompt, type the following command:
ssh username@ix-dev.cs.uoregon.edu
where username is your CS username (may be different from your Duck ID). You will be prompted to type in your password.
If you use Windows 10, configure a bash environment by following these instructions.
If you are on Windows versions older than 10, first install an ssh client, such as Putty, then follow the steps described in this tutorial, specifying ix-dev.cs.uoregon.edu as the host name, and your CS username and password.
More information on using SSH at CIS is available on the " Using SSH at CIS" page, which also describes how you can generate and use ssh keys instead of a password. These instructions will work in Unix. On Windows, refer to the ssh client documentation for the equivalent key generation and management functionality (e.g., Putty also supports this, but the interface is different).
