I am not sure why you are using the word yes. It will usually ask you to login. You can log in as root (not always recommended) or as a regular user. It will usually give you a login prompt followed by the prompt for the password. If it already shows you "root@beaglebone" followed by a # then you have in fact already logged in and are now facing a UNIX/Linux shell prompt. Sounds like you are not used to using Unix or Linux from the command line. This can be great fun! You can learn about the Linux command line:
http://linuxcommand.org https://www.edx.org/course/linuxfoundationx/linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-introduction-1621#.U-deMlY7Mmw Sounds like you are already logged into a Linux shell. You just have to learn to use Linux from the command line. It really is great fun and very rewarding. You can then open an editor (I like emacs but nano maybe a gentler introduction for a newbie) on the Beaglebone and write your program or if you insist on writing it on your machine and uploading it you can do so using sftp instead of ssh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol http://linux.die.net/man/1/sftp I hope this helps.
