VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a protocol that allows you to tap into a local private network remotely. If you’re attempting this training by yourself, or following on Zoom, off-campus then you’ll need to connect to the USyd internet network before you can connect to Artemis.

Windows only, a great stand alone application to move data between local and remote computers. Be wary of bundled bloatware on installation. Use it to make SFTP connections and move data between local and remote machines.

Windows users will need to enable WSL and install a Linux distro (or CYGWIN or equivalent) or else use the interactive platforms below. Mac OSX and Linux have the command line tools built in already. If you are not fully comfortable moving data on the command line you can use various file transfer applications. This one will give you a full suite of Linux functions and I like it for emulating Linux.

Install Ubuntu or some other Linux distro on the Windows Subsystem for Linux see here for details. Install, and follow the instructions on the USyd-ICT page to activate – you’ll need to be on the USyd network or VPN to do so. USyd provides a license for it however, the download link is restricted to staff, so students, get a copy here. X-Win32 is full-featured X-server and terminal emulator for Windows.

Name this session “Artemis” and click ‘Save’.Create a new session for use with Artemis as follows: You can install it to your computer, or just download the ‘binary’ and run it directly.

To use Artemis on Windows, you have a couple of options: i. However, those aren’t going to work for us, as you’ll need extra programs and utilities to connect to Artemis, such as an SSH implementation. If you’re using a Windows machine, don’t panic!
