Another way is to open firefox remotely after logging into strauss by typing 
<br>
>> firefox & 
<br>
this will open an instance of firefox on strauss. If you navigate to 
sakai there you will be able to attach files as though you were in the lab.

<li>How do I log in from home?

<p><b> Matlab from Home</b></p>
<p>The programs below let you log into Strauss remotely. 

<li> <b> MAC OSX </b>: If you are running Mac OS X, you already use Unix, and you have ssh, sftp, and emacs. Go into the Terminal app and type &quot;emacs&quot;.  Or, if you want emacs running on Strauss to open a new window on your machine so that you can use your mouse, first open Apple's X11 (Applications =&gt; Utilities). Then type 
<p>&quot;ssh -X name@strauss.udel.edu&quot; </p>
<p>(the -X tells Strauss to send and receive windowing information like mouse clicks).</p>
<li> <b>Windows machines</b>
<p>You can download a program called putty which is a free ssh client for Windows.  This will allow you to remotely log into strauss from home.   Here is the link where you can download putty.  <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html">PuTTY SSH Client</a><p>
<b> Using MATLAB GUI from Home (Windows)</b> <p>
<ol>
  <li> For this you will have to install and run an X server.  You can download the Cygwin/X server which should work fine.  The X server is _not_ downloaded by default when you download/install Cygwin, so follow these instructions. <p><a href="http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html">Cygwin Installation Instructions</a> <p>
In the setup, be sure to enable installation X servers and xinit.                        <li> Read the following on <a href="http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting"> starting the X server.</a>  Basically you need to start a cygwin xterm and type <b>"sh /usr/bin/startxwin.sh"</b> which runs a script that starts the X server. You will always need the X server running before you start up the Matlab GUI.  So, every time you reboot your computer you need to run this startxwin script.
