Computing Links

Help on the Math Dept System, including UNIX
PUTTY download site Windows program allowing you to connect to Math Dept machines. Get putty.exe, and for file transfers, psftp.exe as well.
Data Freeway download makes it easy to transfer files to/from gauss. Uses putty-sftp from above.

One way to run SAS jobs from home is to create a command file on your machine, transfer it to gauss, then use putty to log in to gauss. The command "SAS BATCH file.sas" will run the commands in the file "file.sas" and create a log file: file.log and an output file: file.lst. You can transfer those files back to your computer and see what SAS did for you.
