In the "Gateway" section, give your atg credentials.

(Thanks to Tiago Branco for the details) Macĭownload the Microsoft Remote Desktop client from the AppStore. From a Mac, some clients do not have a tunnel option, so open an ssh tunnel through atg for port 3389, and then point the RDP client to localhost:3389. Remmina is a Linux RDP client and it comes with a SSH tunnel option, so it's just a question of filling in the required fields and it does the job for you. The Windows machine needs to have been configured to permit RDP connections. It's also possible to connect to a Windows machine inside the LMB through an SSH tunnel. NoMachine is clunky to set up and expensive for us to licence.x2go is a free version of NoMachine with slick configuration.The answer is to use the x2go or NoMachine clients, as these optimise and compress network traffic - read on This isn't recommended as the X protocol uses a lot of network bandwidth, so you may find that the GUI runs very slowly. While this is possible: # if I have a Linux or Windows ssh -X if I have a ssh -Y once connected to atg, now connect to hex, again using the -X flagĪtg_jog> ssh -X hex relion # or whatever app you need to run # Once you're happy that it's all there, clean up on atg:įrom home, I wish to connect to hex, and run a graphical tool. When you're back at the LMB, log in to hex or hal, make a directory where you want the new data to live, then # get the data from atg:Ĭp /atg_import/$USER/ /new/directory/ Say your directory is called data- # change to the directory above data. Say you're at the synchrotron, have a directory of data that you want to send back to the LMB. If not, then carry on with these instructions: Data Transferįirstly - can you use Globus Connect? It may be easier and faster than scp. So from home, all I type is ssh hex and answer the password/2fa prompts. hex, rather than )įor convenience you can create a $HOME/.ssh/config file on your local system that makes it easy to tunnel to a machine inside the LMB. once on atg, short computer names should work fine (i.e.

Give the verification code from your 2FA app, or one of the one-time codes we give you.

Alternatively, install putty for ssh and xming for an X display.


Most problems start and finish at layer 8.
