## SSH with PuTTY without X11 Forwarding
|
|
|
|
PuTTY is one of the most common tools for SSH.
|
|
|
|
Check, if the following software packages are installed on the Windows workstation by
|
|
inspecting the *Start* menu (hint: use the *Search* box to save time):
|
|
* PuTTY (should be already installed)
|
|
* *[Optional]* Xming (needed for [SSH with X11 Forwarding](#ssh-with-putty-with-x11-forwarding))
|
|
|
|
If they are missing, you can install them using the Software Kiosk icon on the Desktop.
|
|
|
|
1. Start PuTTY
|
|
|
|
2. *[Optional]* Enable ``xterm`` to have similar mouse behavour as in Linux:

## SSH with PuTTY with X11 Forwarding
|
|
|
|
Official X11 Forwarding support is through NoMachine. Please follow the document
|
|
[{Job Submission -> Interactive Jobs}](../slurm-general-docs/interactive-jobs.md#requirements) and
|
|
[{Accessing Merlin -> NoMachine}](nomachine.md) for more details. However,
|
|
we provide a small recipe for enabling X11 Forwarding in Windows.
|
|
|
|
Check, if the **Xming** is installed on the Windows workstation by inspecting the
|
|
*Start* menu (hint: use the *Search* box to save time). If missing, you can install it by
|
|
using the Software Kiosk icon (should be located on the Desktop).
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure that a X server (**Xming**) is running. Otherwise, start it.
|
|
|
|
2. Enable X11 Forwarding in your SSH client. In example, for Putty:
