Overview<\/h2>\n

One method of connecting to the Shared Computing Cluster (SCC)<\/a> from your local computer is to use an SSH<\/b> (Secure SHell) client. This page provides a list of SSH clients available by Operating System and general instructions on how to use them to connect to the SCC. For using graphical user interface (GUI) based applications on the SCC, use the OnDemand system<\/a> for ease and better performance.<\/p>\n

Duo two-factor authentication is required for an SSH connection. Go to the SCC Duo Authentication guide<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n

To connect to the SCC, you will need to connect to one of the login nodes summarized in the table below. There are four login nodes for the Shared Computing Cluster. To connect to a specific login node, you will use the hostname as part of the SSH connection setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Hostname<\/b><\/td>\nNote<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
scc1.bu.edu<\/td>\nGeneral purpose login node, accessible from the general internet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
scc2.bu.edu<\/td>\nGeneral purpose login node, accessible from the general internet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
geo.bu.edu<\/td>\nEarth and Environment department node, accessible from the general internet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
scc4.bu.edu<\/td>\nBUMC node. Access to \/restricted<\/span> data partitions. Requires VPN<\/a><\/span> or first logging in through another node, such as scc1.bu.edu<\/span><\/code>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
