Some simple commands for login/data transfer:
- How to log in
The only way to connect to the linux cluster from outside NTNU is via
login.phys.ntnu.no is using secure shell (ssh), e.g. from a Linux/UNIX system:
$ ssh -l <username> login.phys.ntnu.no - X11 Forwarding:
X11 forwarding is necessary to display editor windows (gvim, emacs, nedit,
etc.) or similar on your desktop. To enable X11 forwarding, log in with the ssh
-X or -Y options enabled
$ ssh -X -Y -l <username> login.phys.ntnu.no - Transferring Data:
SCP (Secure CoPy): scp uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. For example, copying from a local system to login:
$ scp myfile login.phys.ntnu.no:.
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol): sftp is a file transfer program, similar
to ftp, which performs all operations over an encrypted ssh transport. Example,
put file from local system:
$ sftp login.phys.ntnu.no
