How to bring an Orphaned Background Process back to Foreground?

Viewed 42426

Well it goes like this, I had to run a program from my home by sshing into the server in my institution. I did not want my program to be terminated when the session closes(I didn't know about screen).

What i did was press Ctrl+Z and then type bg so that it executes in the background. The session got terminated. Now when I login from my institution machine and type ps -u username, it shows that the program is still running but I'm unable to bring it to foreground.

I tried fg and jobs but these commands don't give me any output.
Please someone help me..
