Logging in
To log in, start your terminal or Secure Shell client and run an ssh command as shown here: Some users (particularly on Macs) need to use -Y instead of -X when calling SSH to enable X11 forwarding. You can use this shorter command if your username for the system is the same as your username on your local computer: After running the ssh command, you will be asked to authenticate to finish logging in.ssh -X username@system_name.ucar.edu
OR
ssh -X username@system_name.hpc.ucar.edu
ssh -X system_name.ucar.edu
OR
ssh -X system_system_name.hpc.ucar.edu
