Connect to the server
If you need help with this step, please see the section of the TUBI handbook called “Connecting to the TUBI server.”
Download files
Use the following commands to download some files that are used in this tutorial. These commands won’t necessarily make sense right now, but the rest of the tutorial will help you understand how to interpret them.
On the server, run the command wget https://UCSC-Treehouse.github.io/shell-novice2/data/data-shell.zip to download the file. It’s easiest to copy the command to the server. Press enter once you’ve pasted it. If you’re using Windows and PuTTY, check the handbook for instructions on pasting.
After you run the command, you should see something like the following
-bash-4.2$ wget https://UCSC-Treehouse.github.io/shell-novice2/data/data-shell.zip
