Connecting to the Calclab machines: 

• Using X-Win from TAMU open access labs: 
• Start X-Win: Start > Programs > Communications > X-Win, and then
• Start an X session on Calclab: right-click X-Win on the taskbar > Sessions > 

> Calclab1 (2,3 or 4);
• Using telnet: 
• From a terminal/command prompt use: telnet calclab1.math.tamu.edu, or 
• Try this link
• Using Secure Shell (with secure shell you can also connect to the machines in BLOC126): 
• From Unix/Linux terminal use: ssh username@bloc126-xx.math.tamu.edu

where 'username' is your username and
'xx' is the number of the computer - from 01 to 24;
• From TAMU open access labs use:

Start > Programs > Communications > TeraTermPro SSH;

Transfering files to/from Calclab:

• From a terminal/command prompt use: ftp calclab1.math.tamu.edu, or
• From TAMU open access labs use:

Start > Programs > Communications > Winsock FTP;

Changing your password:

• Connect to Calclab and then in a terminal use: yppasswd, or
• If you use X-Win: KDE menu > Utilities > Change Password;

Some usefull Unix/Linux shell commands:

• 'ls' - list the files in the current directory

'ls -la' - list all files in the current directory using long listing format;
• 'pwd' - print working (current) directory;
• 'mkdir programs' - create a new subdirectory 'programs' in the current directory;
• 'cd programs' - change the current directory to 'programs';
• 'cd ..' - change to the parent directory;
• 'cd' - change to your home directory;
• 'man command' - display the on-line manual pages for 'command'

(e.g. 'man ftp', 'man telnet', 'man ls', etc.); 

Some text editors:

• kwrite: KDE Menu > Applications > Advanced Editor;
• emacs: KDE Menu > Applications > Emacs;

Compiling programs:

 

C	gcc (-lm) program.c
C++	g++ program.cpp
Fortran	g77 program.f

To run the program type: ./a.out
