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):

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:

    Enable 'xterm'

  3. Create session to a Merlin login node and Open:

    Create Merlin Session

SSH with PuTTY with X11 Forwarding

Official X11 Forwarding support is through NoMachine. Please follow the document {Job Submission -> Interactive Jobs} and {Accessing Merlin -> NoMachine} 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:

    Enable X11 Forwarding in Putty
