/sbin/ifconfig

eth0  yada yada ....
       inet addrIP-Address>

netstat -tlpn

sudo aptitude install openssh-server

1) download putty, from here:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
2) run the program
3) In the line where it says "Host name" enter the written down IP-Address
4) Either hit Enter or click "open" at the bottom of the window
5) a black window opens
6) if you get prompted for a user (login as enter your user name on 
the ubuntu box, hit enter and do the same with the password.

1) On the windows machine, in the webmail-thing: copy a line
2) bring the black putty window to the front and push the right mouse 
button in there. It should paste the copied stuff.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

#!/bin/bash 
PROG=$(basename $0) 
VERSION="1" 
USAGE="A tiny example" 

# call process-getopt functions to define some options: 
source ./process-getopt 
SLOT_func()   { [ "$1" ] && SLOT="yes"; }      # callback for SLOT option 
add_opt SLOT "boolean option" s "" slot 
TOKEN_func()  { [ "$1" ] && TOKEN="$2"; }      # callback for TOKEN option 
add_opt TOKEN "this option takes a value" t n token number 
add_std_opts     # define the standard options --help etc: 

# The next 4 lines call the callbacks and remove the options from the command line:
TEMP=$(call_getopt "$@") || exit 1 
eval set -- "$TEMP" 
process_opts "$@" 
shift "$?"    # remove the options from the command line 

# The hard lifting is done - $@ just contains our arguments:
echo "SLOT=$SLOT" 
echo "TOKEN=$TOKEN" 
echo "args=$@" 

$ tiny --help 
Usage: tiny [-shVvq-] [--slot --help --version --verbose --quiet] [-t ,--token=] 

A tiny example 

Options: 
  -s, --slot                boolean option 
  -t n, --token=number      this option takes a value 
  -h, --help                print this help and exit 
  -V, --version             print version and exit 
  -v, --verbose             do it verbosely 
  -q, --quiet               do it quietly (negates -v) 
  --                        explicitly ends the options 

$ tiny -s --token="my token" arg1 arg2 
SLOT=yes 
TOKEN=my token
