How can I use putty ssh to connect to the math servers?
Download the putty SSH program (for windows) from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and save it to your desktop. The first time you use PuTTY, you will need to set it up to connect to the math servers. Start the putty ssh program. You will get the ‘PuTTY Configuration’ window. • Enter ’round.math.ucdavis.edu’ for ‘Host Name’. • Enter ’round’ for ‘Saved Sessions’. • Click ‘Save’. You have now created a profile for the math server ’round’ in putty. Now when you want to connect to the math server round.math.ucdavis.edu, you can do the following: • Open the putty ssh program that you saved to your desktop. • Select the profile for ’round’ you created under ‘Saved Sessions’. • Click ‘Open’. • An ssh window will now appear connecting you to round. You will be prompted for your username and password. No letters or characters will appear as you type your password. This is for security purposes. • Once connected, you can start matlab, mathematica, etc.
