COURSE PREPARATION
You must register at least three full days prior to the event so that we have time to insure you have proper UM credentials for the workshop. This allows enough time for you to get your account adjusted by ITS in case you do not have access to the Linux systems.
If you do not have this software already, please download and install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software following these instructions: https://its.umich.edu/enterprise/wifi-networks/vpn/getting-started You will need this to be able to use the ssh client. You will need to use the ‘Campus All traffic’ profile in the Cisco client.
You will need an ssh client to connect to the training host. Mac OS X and Linux platforms have this built-in. Here are a couple of choices for Windows platforms:
· Download and install U-M PuTTY/WinSCP from the Compute at the U website. This includes both the PuTTY ssh client and terminal emulator and a graphical file transfer tool in one installer.
· Download and install PuTTY directly from the developer.
During class you will be given the name of the training host to be able to participate in the hands-on activities.
A Zoom link will be provided to the participants the day before the class. Registration is required.
Instructor will be available at the Zoom link, to be provided, from 12-1 PM for computer setup assistance.
