Remoting Into the Xavier Computer - Carleton-SRCL/SPOT GitHub Wiki

Via Terminal

Remoting into the Xavier computers is best done via SSH. This can be done in two ways. The first method uses Ubuntu for Windows (UFW). To start UFW, click on the icon in the ground station computers taskbar:

Once you have started UFW you will be greeted with the following terminal:

From this terminal, you can SSH into the other lab computers. Here are the commands for each of the computers:

ssh [email protected]

The password for all three platform computers is srcl2023.

For non-Linux users, some common commands to navigate include:

cd: This command takes you to a directory. So, cd Desktop will bring you to the Desktop directory.
sudo: This command is equivalent to running something as an administrator in Windows. Certain programs will not work without this command.
ls: This command lists all files and folders in the current directory.
touch FILENAME: This command creates a new text file in the current directory called FILENANE.

Once done, a gentle exit from the ssh session is to use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + D, which causes a logout.

Via GUI

You can also access the platform computers remotely using the SPOT GUI. Under the Direct Hardware Control tab, you can click on any of the Open Remote SSH Command Shell buttons to remotely access the selected platform. Note that the buttons are disable in the image below; you need to have selected your active platforms and established a connection with them.
