Working from Home

I found a useful link related to working from home. Check out: http://www.cdf.toronto.edu/workathome/index.php3.

Your code is required to work on CDF (no exceptions!). An unsupported C compiler can be obtained from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/. However, use this at your own risk because it is possible that a program developed at home may not work 100% on CDF. One possible solution is to develop your code at home and move everything to CDF a couple of days before the assignment due date to perform testing. The safest way to work from home is to remotely connect to CDF using SSH. Check out this site: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~djast/ssh.html. I use TeraTerm SSH and it usually works well for me.
