Introduction to MobaXterm, ssh and connecting to RACC (on campus)

This tutorial gives an overview of the MobaXterm ssh client for Windows and introduces ssh connection basics. We then show how to connect to the Reading Academic Computing Cluster (RACC) from MobaXterm. You can obtain MobaXTerm from the developer website. More information about using an ssh client to connect to our services, including more details on X11 graphics forwarding can be found on our access via an ssh client website.

Introduction to Terminal on Mac, ssh and connecting to RACC (on campus)

This tutorial gives an overview of the Terminal ssh client for Mac OS and introduces ssh connection basics. We then show how to connect to the Reading Academic Computing Cluster (RACC) from Terminal. More information about using an ssh client to connect to our services, including more details on X11 graphics forwarding can be found on our access via an ssh client website. In order to enable X11 graphics forwarding on a mac from terminal you’ll also need to have XQuartz installed, which you can obtain from the developer website.

Introduction to arc-ssh, setting up ssh keys and working from home (with MobaXterm)

This is a tutorial on how to connect to the externally visible server arc-ssh and how to set up ssh keys. We use MobaXterm on Windows in this tutorial but the method is analogous for Mac and Linux. The main documentation for arc-ssh can be found on our arc-ssh website. We also have additional webpages with more detailed step-by-step instructions and extra functionality for connections from MobaXterm and for Linux and Mac users. A ticket to DTS to request access to arc-ssh can be raised via the self-service portal.
