SSH from Windows

Note

If you prefer to login from the command-line, such as WSL, follow the same steps as the Linux/Mac instructions.

What you'll need:

  • MobaXterm (or any other SSH client of your choosing)
  • UCF VPN (only needed if not connected to UCF internet)
  • An account with the ARCC
  • Your UCF NID

Windows users can choose their preferred SSH client, such as PuTTY or MobaXTerm. If unsure, many ARCC users choose MobaXterm as it offers a user friendly interface. The following steps and screenshots showcase how you can set up a connection to the ARCC clusters using MobaXterm.

  • Launch MobaXterm.

  • In the top left corner, click "Session" MobaXterm

  • For the Remote Host cell enter stokes.ist.ucf.edu or newton.ist.ucf.edu and for Specify username and enter your UCF NID MobaXterm

  • If prompted to trust the server on first connection, click Accept.

  • You should be prompted to enter you UCF password. Once that is entered, you have successfuly set up your ARCC connection on Windows. MobaXterm
