SSH from Linux
Connect to the CSCD 240 lab server from a Linux machine
You already have ssh. Open any terminal emulator and go.
Step 1: Connect to the VPN
Install GlobalProtect from EWU IT. The Linux client is globalprotect. Connect to vpn.ewu.edu with your EWU credentials.
On Ubuntu/Debian, if a .deb is provided:
sudo dpkg -i GlobalProtect_UI_deb-*.deb
globalprotect connect --portal vpn.ewu.edu
Confirm the VPN is active before proceeding.
Step 2: Connect
ssh YOUR_USERNAME@TBD.ewu.edu
Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your EWU username (e.g., jdoner42).
Accept the host key on first connection (yes). Enter your EWU password (nothing will appear as you type – this is normal).
Step 3: Disconnect
exit
