Instructions

Step 1: Installing VScode

  1. Go to the Visual Studio Code website: https://code.visualstudio.com/ and follow the steps provided to install the software on the device you're using. Download the right version for your computer's operating system.
  2. Once installed, open VScode on the device you're using
  3. You should be able to open a window such as the one pictured below: 1_12_23vscodescreenshot

Step 2: Remotely Connecting

  • The following instructions will show how to use VScode/terminal to connect to a remote server over the internet
  1. Make sure that Git is installed for Windows. Go to https://gitforwindows.org/ to download.
  2. Follow the steps on the following post to set your default terminal to use git bash in VScode: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50527994
  3. Open the terminal (Ctrl or Command + `, or use the Terminal -> New Terminal menu option). You should see the name of your course-specific account and (if this is your first time connecting to this server) you may see
⤇ ssh [email protected]
The authenticity of host 'ieng6.ucsd.edu (128.54.70.227)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:ksruYwhnYH+sySHnHAtLUHngrPEyZTDl/1x99wUQcec.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
  1. Type yes and press enter. Then give your course-specific account password. You should see this message after sharing your password and logging in:

Your terminal is now officially connected to a computer in the CSE basement. Your computer is called the "client" and the cse basement computer is known as the "server".

Step 3: Trying Some Commands

  1. Try typing the commands cd, ls, pwd, mkdir, and cp into the terminal in VScode. *Some specific commands to try:
    • cd ~
    • cd
    • ls -lat
    • ls -a
    • ls where is /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/cs15lwi23abc, where the abc is one of the other group members’ username
    • cp /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/public/hello.txt ~/
    • cat /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/public/hello.txt

Example:
