SSH connection from Windows

To access the DCSR clusters from a Windows host, you have to use an SSH client.

Several options are available:

We present here only MobaXterm (since it's a great tool that also allow to transfer files with a GUI) and the PowerShell options. For both options, we'll see how to connect through SSH with a password and with a key.

MobaXterm

Connection with a password

After opening MobaXterm, you have to create a new session:

Then you have to configure the connection:

Then you can choose to save or not your password in MobaXterm:

Finally, you are connected to Curnagl:

You can see, on the left panel, a file browser. This represents your files on the cluster and it can be used to edit small text files, or to download/upload files to/from your laptop.

Connection with a key

First you have to create a key:

A new windows is opened, there you can choose the kind of key (Ed25519 is a good choice):
