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.
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 and https://www.starnet.com/fastx/ .
FastX works for LAN or WAN access, and is optimized for Remote Linux X Windows, and can be used if the default SSH X11 tunneling does not provide adequate performance.
ssh and scp are not the most optimized tool for large data transfers. bbcp and/or globus are better choices. There are two Data Transfer Nodes available for this:
dtn01.slac.stanford.edu dtn02.slac.stanford.edu |
