I've always been into programming in windows using visual studio for C# programs. But my class is requiring me to program in C in unix now and I'm having trouble debugging things in the monotone pico. So my friend recommended code::blocks to me and I noticed he was able to open files directly from his unix server.
I don't know if he was able to get the unix server to work with his personal harddrive or code::blocks to work with his school server that is offered to all computer science students. But I'd like to learn how to do either one so I can switch between unix and code::blocks without copying and pasting.
I hope you guys understand my problem because I seriously know nothing about this stuff.
Anyway the address I use to log into my unix server is myUserName@csa03.cs.wmich.edu
Am I able to put that address somewhere in code::blocks and it can open files directly from the server? Or am I able to log into the server and hae it work with files on my personal hard drive?
Let me know if I am being unclear.

Is there any chance I am not being clear enough? Honestly I have no idea what I am doing or what I am saying so if you need clarification by all means.

It sounds more likely you need to set up VPN, or some other way for your local OS to gain access to a remote directory. C::B itself shouldnt need any special setup once you do that. I could be wrong though. Personally I've used Hamachi on WinXP in the past to have access to remote computers and have C::B edit the files over (virtual) lan.
