There are several ways to access our HPC Systems.
Access via Secure Shell (SSH)
The Secure Shell protocol allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. SSH is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands (remote console), but it can also be used to run programs and transfer files. On Linux and Mac systems the ssh client is usually pre-loaded, while on Windows systems you have to download and install an SSH client. For example openSSH, Putty or Tectia.
