I often find myself without an internet connection, but want to program, but can't because I have to connect to my school's server. But I shouldn't have to always be tied to my school, or even the internet, for that matter.
If I can't program on Unix, what can I program on that doesn't require internet connection?
And why should an internet connection even be necessary?
It shouldn't be required. There are tool sets (compiler, linker, debugger, editor, ...) that do not require internet connection.
So then why does it always ask for "remote host"?
If you're trying to program on a remote host (for example, your school's Unix servers) then you will require an internet connection there is no getting around that.
However, you don't need a remote host to program C++. If you're on Windows, get Code::Blocks (the IDE) and install MinGW with it. If you're on Linux or Mac, you can just download gcc and use it on your home machine.
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
It is likely asking because you set it up to ask.
But, since I have no idea what "it" you are talking about; there is little I can do to help.
Do you know what a Compiler is? If yes, do you have one installed on your computer?

I know what a compiler is....kinda?
I type g++ and the compiler goes....I don't know if that means I have one or not. Probably not.
I have mobaxtern. I open it up, and it comes to this weird place, with the date and time in yellow then underneath that the name of my computer in teal-blue.
I want to open a "session" but I need to connect to my school's server for that. I want to open the exact session I'd have, but without using connecting through my school. I want to use vim and g++ and all that stuff.
And sorry if I'm confusing....I really have no idea what I'm doing with this stuff so I really appreciate the help.
And I just downloaded that codeblock thing and I'm trying to see if I can make it work.
Refer to Tim's post. If persist in asking questions that are not comprehensible, you will be unlikely to get any useful answer.
Yeah, seems like this isn't the right place for this kind of question. I'll try figuring it out on my own.
Thanks to everyone who replied
Just setup Codeblocks ( Code::Blocks ). It should come with a compiler compatible with your system. It's a good idea to get one of your own to practice on, and your school definitely doesn't have control of all compilers in the worldOriginally Posted by needhelp171

Using MobaXTerm implies you are connecting to another server somewhere. Of course that requires an internet connection.
However, you could likely as well just take the source and compile and run it locally. This requires no internet connection.
