Putty free download. Putty-nd Noodle build of PuTTY suite, green soft with chrome style UI and group-able and searchable session. PuTTY is the most popular SSH client for Windows. One, and probably the only one, of PuTTY drawbacks is that you need to start a new copy of PuTTY every time you open a new connection.

Using Linux in 351
This course explores low-level topics in machine representation of programs and data. For our reference system, we're using CentOS Linux. Other Linux and Mac OS X systems are very similar, and Windows machines also use the same underlying processors and memory organization. But for assignments in this course, your submissions need to work on, and will be graded on, our reference system.
This is a quick little tutorial on how to get yourself up and running on Linux. If you are a CSE major, then you have access to departmental servers collectively called attu (actually reached at attu.cs.washington.edu). You are welcome to use attu or the , which are running the same Linux image. If you are using the CSE virtual machine, then read just “Shell on Linux” and then from “Finding your way around the shell” onward.
The shell is the bread and butter of Linux. I know – graphical things are nice – but the Linux shell brings you a lot of power with not very many key presses. As computing becomes more and more prevalent across all industries, you may find yourself using a Linux shell at some point, so it's a good skill to have/know.
Shell on Windows
Windows' default command line interfaces are Command Prompt and PowerShell, which use a different set of commands and tools and behave differently than the shells on Mac and Linux. Instead, you can connect to attu using either of the following methods:
Shell on Mac OS X
The Mac OS X Terminal behaves very similarly to most Linux shells. As a result, most of the commands on Terminal will be the same as those from a Linux shell. However, to use the Linux shell commands for 351, we will connect to attu.
Shell on Linux
You won't need to do any special setup on Linux, as you have a shell installed. It is still recommended that you connect to attu to ensure that you have all of the tools needed and are using the same environment as everyone else.
Logging onto attu
attu is a powerful computer sitting in the CSE building that is ready to run your work, except that it has no screen. It runs linux, and can only be accessed over the network. You will be granted an account (your UWNetID) on attu for the quarter. attu has all of the commands that you will need in the 351 labs, and is built to be fast, so more often than not it's most convenient to run lab programs on attu.
Accessing attu from Windows (PuTTY)
Accessing attu from Windows (bash), OS X, or Linux
Changing your attu password
If you would like to change your Kerberos password, type passwd into the command prompt and press [Enter], then follow the instructions given.
How files and folders work on Linux
First off: folders are a fancy word that Microsoft invented to make computers seem more human. While folders are great, they're called directories on Linux.
The first thing that most new users shifting from Windows will find confusing is navigating the Linux filesystem. The Linux filesystem does things a lot more differently than the Windows filesystem.
