Earlier, I was asking how I would do this, and many people suggested using SSH. However, when I attempted to use SSH at school, it turns out that the school system was too secure(this is a fairly rare occurence).

However, that effectively limits the way that I can get my C++ over to the other computer and compile it, to see which errors it has. I need to create a CGI script that I can put on my linux box, that will take the code I give it, compile it, and give me any of the errors thrown at compile time. I am not planning on actually running the compiled program, I simply want to catch the output from the compiler when compiling.

Does anyone know how exactly I would do this?
I'm fairly certain that in order to get it all to work, I would need to have the CGI script write it's contents(form) out to a file(test.cpp or something), and then somehow call the compiler on it, and trap the errors.

However, I'm not 100% certain of how I would call the compiler and trap the errors. Would I be able to use a system call, something like 
system(c++ -o testprogram test.cpp);

Or would I have to do it differently? And how would I capture the output of the compiler, so that I could see if there were any errors?
