UCSC Computer Accounts
All programming assignments in this course will be tested and evaluated on the UCSC Unix Timeshare, unix.ucsc.edu.  You may develop your projects on any platform, but since they will be graded on the timeshare, it is imperative that you thoroughly test all programs in this environment before submission.  Grading scripts for each project will be made available by Teaching Assistant Hou-I Lin (hlin64@ucsc.edu).  Do not fail to use these scripts when you test your projects.

The host unix.ucsc.edu provides a Linux command line environment and home directory access to multiple concurrent users.  All students with an active CruzID account can access this system using their CruzID-Blue password.  Follow the instructions below to log on to unix.ucsc.edu from your computing device.
Terminal access for Windows users: 
Open a PowerShell or Command Prompt window.  Type:  ssh user@unix.ucsc.edu, where user is your CruzID (the the string before the @ in your email address), then respond with your Blue password.

Terminal access for Mac or Linux users:
Open your Terminal app.  Type:  ssh user@unix.ucsc.edu, where user is your CruzID (the the string before the @ in your email address), then respond with your Blue password. 

The following software may be useful for development and testing of your projects
Secure File Transfer for all users:
 Download and install FileZilla for your platform.  (Warning to Windows users:  do not download the installer from here.  Make sure you use the Windows installer found here.) Set Host to unix.ucsc.edu, Username to your CruzID, Password to your Blue password and Port to 22, then click Quickconnect.  The left pane shows your local file system, and the right pane shows the remote file system on unix.ucsc.edu. Simply drag and drop files from one pane to the other to transfer files.
Code Editors:  
 Notepad++ (Windows only),  BBedit (Mac only), SublimeText (all platforms). There are many others.

If you have any problems installing these tools, or logging on to unix.ucsc.edu you should get help from a Teaching Assistant or Course Tutor.  The host unix.ic.ucsc.edu is administered by Information Technology Services.  Contact ITS Support Services for assistance with your account.
