Notes:

ssh, scp (secure copy) & ftp / get

• To ssh from outside SFU, under linux:
  
  > ssh dogwood.css.sfu.ca
  > ssh praha
  
  The double ssh is necessary due to network security. Praha can be replaced by any other machine name.
  
  Note: some time, you must login as root to be able to ssh.

• To ssh from outside SFU, under windows, from the command line:
  
  > telnet fraser.sfu.ca
  
  Login, and
  
  > ssh dogwood.css.sfu.ca
  > ssh praha

• To ssh with X-windows display enabled (at SFU):
  
  > ssh -X praha
  
  Or (assuming you are sitting at "chief"),
  
  > xhost + praha
  > ssh praha
  > setenv DISPLAY chief:0.0

• To download a directory or file from outside SFU:
  1) ssh to the desired machine
  2) tar and gzip the directory or file
  3) > telnet fraser.sfu.ca (and login)
  4) go to the desired directory
  4) to secure-copy the zipped file to the current directory:
  
  > scp <username>@<machine>:fileName localFileName
  
  For example:
  
  > scp user@dogwood.css.sfu.ca:test.gz test.gz
  
  5) Now use your favorite ftp program to download the *.gz file
  
  Or (if only the ftp command is available)
  
  > cd into the directory that you want to download to
  > ftp fraser.sfu.ca (and login)
  > cd <desiredDirectory> For example: > cd test/dir2/
  > BIN (set download mode to binary)
  > get <file>.gz For example: > get test.gz
  
  Note, to get a directory, type in > get dir
