Venus and SSH

We will be connecting to a server called

Venus to do our work for this course.

We will be accessing it using

SSH Secure Shell Client:

Click the icon on your screen.

Connecting to Venus

When SSH opens, click Add Profile if it’s

your first time logging on (or the first time

on a new computer).

Connecting to Venus

Give this profile a name:

Go back to Profiles and choose Edit

profile. Choose the name you entered.

Refer to the image on the next slide to fill

out the sections. Use the host name as

indicated and put in your own username

(that you used to log on to your

computer).

Connecting to Venus

Remember the host name is:

venus.cs.qc.edu OR

venus.cs.qc.cuny.edu

Troubleshooting

Check that you entered both host and

username correctly.

If it says “venus is unavailable” or similar, try

again one or two times.
