1.5 SSH (secure shell) tips and tricks - Getting started with scientific computing/HPC (summer 2022)
Channel: Aalto Scientific Computing
Date: 2022-06-07

Remembering server address... Another login? Another password prompt? Again? Wouldn’t it be nice to just have a key instead of a keycode that you need to type in? Here, we will show you how to set up your computer to easily connect to the server(s) you need. And we will explain the process from keys to config. While useful, this part is skippable if you are able to connect to Triton (next section).
