How to connect to the cluster with a PC?
UIT TTS research servers require an ssh connection to a host providing shell access. Use of Cygwin ssh, SecureCRT, Putty, etc... will work. Other forms of connection such as XDM, rsh, rlogin, telnet are not supported.
...
For example...
To copy a file up to the cluster into your home dir(user John Doe):
> scp your_file.xyz jdoe02@clusterjdoe02@cluster6.uit.tufts.edu:/cluster/home/j/d/jdoe02/
To copy a file down to your PC or laptop into your current dir:
> scp jdoe02@clusterjdoe02@cluster6.uit.tufts.edu:/cluster/home/j/d/jdoe02/your_file.txt .
...
Open an xterm window and use ssh.
> ssh -Y -C clustercluster6.uit.tufts.edu
Provide your Tufts username and password (same as your email).
...
Open a local shell window or xterm and connect with:
> ssh -Y clustercluster6.uit.tufts.edu
Provide your username and password (same as your email).
...
Can I get SecureCRT from Tufts?
Yes. Information can be found on the Tufts UIT TTS website.
How does one connect to the cluster with an Android tablet?
In general you will need an ssh based application. Try ConnectBot available on GooglePlay.
...
For ssh and X11 needs there is a linux virtual(program) running on lab PCs. Just login to one of the Blake systems and click on the linux icon on the desktop. It automatically boots into guest mode. Once established a terminal window should start up automatically. From there you can login to the cluster with ssh:
ssh -Y -C UTLN@clusterUTLN@cluster6.uit.tufts.edu
Make sure x11 over ssh works by typing xlogo at the cluster shell prompt.
This should bring up a small window with an X inside of it.
