Log in with ssh

For this lesson, many temporary accounts have been created on a TIFR computing cluster. The local facilitators will provide you with a username and password to use for this activity. If you are following this lesson apart from the local group at WHEPP, please reach out on the Mattermost channel to request login credentials.

In a terminal on your local computer (NOT inside a docker container), use ssh to connect to the cluster:

$ ssh userXX@ui3.indiacms.res.in  # replace XX with the number provided to you

After entering the password, you should see the following on your screen:

bob@localpc:wheep2024$ ssh user1@ui3.indiacms.res.in
user1@ui3.indiacms.res.in's password:
