There are several ways to access your UHUNIX account. The program you will use is called SSH Secure Shell. The SSH Secure Shell program will open a connection from your computer to the UHUNIX computer over the Internet. All of the commands that you enter in the SSH Secure Shell window are executed on the UHUNIX computer. The commands are not executed by the computer you are sitting at right now.

3 important things to remember while working with UHUNIX are:

  1. UHUNIX is text-based. You interact with the computer by typing commands. You cannot use your mouse to navigate around the screen.

  2. UNIX is case sensitive. Hello, hello, and HELLO are each different to UNIX.
