You can use scp or sftp to transfer files from/to linux-lab.  How to use
those falls into the pre-requisites category of this class.

You should know how to use a unix text editor.  linux-lab has various
different editors installed, vi and emacs among them.  Being able to use
those similarly falls into the pre-requisites category of this class.

As noted, I expect that all work is done on linux-lab; that includes
using any one of the editors available there to create your source or
text files.

The reason for this is to get all of you to (better) understand and
become more comfortable with Unix as an integrated development
environment.  This can only be learned by doing.  If you choose to
create your files or write your code on another system and then copy it
to linux-lab, you are robbing yourself of the chance to better
familiarize yourself with that environment.

"Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" should thus actually
happen in the Unix environment.
