1. OBTAIN AN "SSH" CLIENT PROGRAM.
If you do not have an SSH client, then you must obtain one. SSH is very similar
to telnet. The main difference is that it is secure.
Download "PuTTY.exe" from here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe

Save it to your C:\Windows\ folder. You can run it from the START menu by
choosing "RUN" and typing the program name, "putty".

2. LOG ONTO ASTRO.
Use PUTTY to connect to your temple email server. Mine is ASTRO. So I would
connect to "astro.temple.edu". In the PUTTY window, be sure to select the
"SSH" option.

3. LOG ONTO LUCAS.
Now that you are connected to ASTRO, you are now on Temple's network and are
permitted to connect to LUCAS. Type the following from the unix command prompt:

    ssh USERNAME@lucas.cis.temple.edu

For example, since I am user "c068100", I will type:

    ssh c068100@lucas.cis.temple.edu

4. LOG ONTO A LUCAS NODE.

Now that you are logged onto the main LUCAS server, you must log onto one of the LUCAS nodes. Type this to get to one of the LUCAS nodes:

    gotoclient

***IMPORTANT*** You must NOT do any work on the main LUCAS server, or else Jon Ikoniak will lock your account.

    All the LUCAS nodes share the same filesystem, so your files will be
accessible from any of the ~30 LUCAS nodes at all times.
