			== PuTTY ==

			[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html Putty] is a small client that comes as a single executable and does not require a specific installation procedure.

			PuTTY cannot do file transfers. There is a second download for a command-line tool <code>pscp.exe</code> on the same website.

'''If you are new to SSH login, you can refer to the various [[Login/Examples|examples]] to see how this works.''' == Login from Linux, Mac OS and other Unix-like Systems == Most Unix and Unix-like operating systems like Linux, Mac OS and *BSD come with a built-in SSH client provided by the OpenSSH project. To use this client, simply open a command line terminal (the exact process differs on every operating system, but usually involves starting an application called '''Terminal''', '''Console''' or '''Command Prompt''') and enter the following command to connect to a cluster: <pre> $ ssh <username>@<hostname> </pre> If you are on a Linux or Unix system running the X Window System (X11) and want to use a GUI-based application, you can use the ''-X'' option for the ssh command to set up X11 forwarding: <pre> $ ssh -Y <username>@<hostname> </pre> === Graphical SSH Transfer through FileZilla === Many GUI applications that support SFTP transfers on Linux don't work well with 2-factor authentication, e.g. Nautilus and Dolphin don't support it. A good alternative for Linux is FileZilla. Start FileZilla, Select "File -> Site Manager..." from the main menu and set up a new connection with the following settings: <pre> Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol Host: <hostname> Logon Typ: Interactive User: <username> </pre> == Login from Windows OS == For windows we suggest using MobaXterm for login and file transfer. More recent versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 using the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install Windows Subsystem for Linux] (WSL) also come with a built-in OpenSSH client. After installing a linux system with WSL use the instructions for linux. === MobaXterm === The bwHPC support team recommends to use [http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm] instead of ''PuTTY'' or ''WinSCP'' on Windows. ''MobaXterm'' provides a built-in X11 server allowing to start GUI based software. Select the session type ''ssh''. Start ''MobaXterm'', fill in the following fields: <pre> Remote name : <hostname> Specify user name : <username> Port : 22 </pre> Click 'OK'. A terminal will be opened and there you can enter your credentials. Then click on the "Connect" button. Files can be transferred between the local system and the cluster by navigating to the respective folders in the split file view and then either dragging files and folders between the views or by clicking on a file/folder with the right mouse button and then selecting "Upload" or "Download" from the menu.
