Login Nodes
The following machines can be used for remote SSH access to SLAC:
| Load-balanced Hostname | Operating System |
|---|---|
| centos7.slac.stanford.edu | CentOS 7.x |
| rhel6-64.slac.stanford.edu | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x |
| iris.slac.stanford.edu | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x |
Example usage:
ssh centos7.slac.stanford.edu
You can add your username to the login command like this:
ssh centos7.slac.stanford.edu -l username
(replace "username" with your actual SLAC username.
X11 GUI access
SSH is capable of forwarding X11 through the connection. This will be slow when you are connecting from a non-SLAC network. To display SLAC X11 / GUI applications to your remote desktop or laptop, we have FastX available. For more information, see https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SCSPub/FastX .
Data Transfer Nodes (DTN)
For transferring large amounts of data, ssh and scp are not the most optimized tool for this. bbcp and/or globus are better choices. There are two Data Transfer Nodes available:
dtn01.slac.stanford.edu dtn02.slac.stanford.edu
