# Login to the High Performance Computers
The best way to login to the Linux machines is via ssh. From a Linux console, the command syntax is
`ssh user@host`. The additional option `-XC` enables X11 forwarding for graphical applications (the
`-C` enables compression which usually improves usability in this case).

[VPN](https://tu-dresden.de/zih/dienste/service-katalog/arbeitsumgebung/zugang_datennetz/vpn)
gateway of the ZIH. Information on these topics can be found on our web pages

## Access from a Windows workstation
We suggest Windows users use MobaXTerm. **TODO Link MobaXTerm**.
Benefits of MobaXTerm include:
- easy to use
- graphical user interface
- file transfer via drag and drop
## Access from a Linux Workstation
### SSH Access
**Attention:** Please use an up-to-date SSH client. The login nodes accept the following encryption
algorithms: `aes128-ctr`, `aes192-ctr`, `aes256-ctr`, `aes128-gcm@openssh.com`,
`aes256-gcm@openssh.com`, `chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com`, `chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com`
gateway of the ZIH. <br></br>
Information on these topics can be found on our web pages <http://www.tu-dresden.de/zih>.
## SSH Access
### SSH Key
All public ssh keys for Taurus have to be generated with the following attributes:
* the **ED25519** algorithm has to be used <br></br>
(command: `ssh-keygen -t ed25519`)
* a passphrase for the private key must be set (**<ins>not empty!</ins>** )
### Access from a Windows workstation
To access HPC systems from a windows workstation we suggest one of <br></br>
the following applications:
* MobaXTerm \[[homepage](https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net) | [Tutorial](../misc/Basic usage of MobaXterm.pdf)\]
* PuTTY \[[homepage](https://www.putty.org) | [Tutorial](../misc/Basic usage of PuTTY.pdf)\]
* OpenSSH Server [docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse)
**Note:** <br></br>
Some applications need get X-forwarding enabled before they support specific software <br></br>
from our [modules system](../software/modules.md/).
### Access from a Linux Workstation
**Attention:** <br></br>
Please use an up-to-date SSH client. The login nodes accept the following encryption
algorithms: <br></br>
* `aes128-ctr`
* `aes192-ctr`
* `aes256-ctr`
* `aes128-gcm@openssh.com`
* `aes256-gcm@openssh.com`
* `chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com`
* `chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com`
### SSH session
If your workstation is within the campus network, you can connect to the
HPC login servers directly, e.g., for Taurus:
HPC login servers directly (Port 22), e.g., for Taurus:
```Bash
# without ssh-key
ssh <zih-login>@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de
# with ssh-key
ssh -i id-ed25519 <zih-login>@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de
```
If you connect for the fist time, the client will ask you to verify the host by the fingerprint:
```Bash
user@pc:~# ssh <zih-login>@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de
localhost$: ssh <zih-login>@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de
The authenticity of host 'taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de (141.30.73.104)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:HjpVeymTpk0rqoc8Yvyc8d9KXQ/p2K0R8TJ27aFnIL8.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

From outside the TUD campus network
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to enter the campus network, which allows you to connect
directly to the HPC login servers.
### VPN (Virtual Private Network)
To access HPC systems from outside the campus networks its recommended to set up <br></br>
a VPN connection to enter the campus network. <br></br>
While active it allows the user to connect directly to the HPC login servers.
For more information on our VPN and how to set it up, please visit the corresponding
[ZIH service catalogue page](https://tu-dresden.de/zih/dienste/service-katalog/arbeitsumgebung/zugang_datennetz/vpn).
