Connecting to Cluster from Linux
To initiate an SSH connection from a Linux system to the cluster's login (head) node, use the generic command
ssh«options» «HPC_username»@«HPC_hostname»
For example,
ssh -Y traine@farber.hpc.udel.edu
This ssh command is on your local system. This example assumes you have a local command line interface, and have an X11 server running, for example, Mac/UNIX/Linux or cygwin/X (with the openssh client)
