Each of you has your own account (login) on wasp and hornet. For both wasp and hornet: Use your kent.edu username and password to log in. When you log in to either you will have access to your own files. All commands will work the same on both computers.

PuTTy is available at: PuTTy download To log into wasp (or hornet) do the following: Start the Putty application For the host name enter: wasp.cs.kent.edu A window called a terminal window should appear. When you see login as: Use your kent.edu username Use your kent.edu password You may not see anything when you type your password.
