You can of course run screen locally _and_ remotely :) I've been using this setup for years now, so that I can run multiple programs in the same terminal, but in different screen windows. I have shortcuts set up so that I can quickly switch between them. With an appropriate caption set in my .screenrc it looks like the picture in the attachment. You can find my .screenrc here: https://nieko.net/projects/all#rc You can run screen on Windows by using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Some years back I wrote a blog post on how to get Bash up and running properly, and it talks about screen a bit as well: https://nieko.net/blog/bash-on-ubuntu-on-windows Hope that helps! > Le 02/11/2023 à 20:47, Brielle Shope a écrit : > > Hello, > > > > I am a graduate student wanting to access my school computer remotely > > from home.
