Remote Access

PIC Lab



New Remote Access Method:
Remote Submit, Compile, and Check Submission

(primarily for C++ Students)


Transfer files to your Submit folder: (Command Line ftp)

  1. Ftp to springfield.pic.ucla.edu. Using basic ftp commands ( ftp springfield.pic.ucla.edu )
  2. Login using your PIC Windows login and Password.
  3. Type dir (you will see a listing with your username)
  4. cd username
  5. cd submit
  6. Use ftp to transfer files: put all relevant files there.
  7. After the transfer, exit ftp

Transfer files to your Submit folder using Web Browser

  1. At your URL box, put in ftp://springfield.pic.ucla.edu/[your pic username]
  2. for example ftp://springfield.pic.ucla.edu/joeburin.
  3. Login using your PIC windows login and Password.
  4. You should now see a list of your folders.

SSH to springfield.pic.ucla.edu

  1. ssh to springfield.pic.ucla.edu. ( ssh springfield.pic.ucla.edu )
  2. Login using your PIC Windows login and Password.
  3. If you are using a PC to ssh, you can just hit <1> when ask to choose a character map. Else, choose the appreciate character map.
  4. You are in your own PIC folder. This is the same as your "Z" drive when you login at the PIC Lab.

Compile your C++ code:

    At this point, it will be time to verify that your code compiles on the command line. 

  1. First you will need to set up your Visual Studio environment. You can do that by typing "vsenv" at the command line.
  2. cd (short for "change directory") into the Submit folder.  ( cd submit )
  3. Type "cl -GX file1.cpp file2.cpp file3.cpp ..." and verify that a .exe file is created. 
  4. Run the .exe file from the command line by typing the name of the file. 

Check Submission:

    You'll want to run Check Submission remotely to make sure your files are named correctly.
