There are several ways to connect to the clusters from a windows computer.

MobaXterm

  1. Install MobaXterm
  2. Create a a VPN connection
  3. Connect through the created VPN
  4. Go to MobaXterm and start a new terminal
  5. Type
  ssh username@cn#.science.ru.nl

username is your science account login, # = number of the cluster you want to connect to.

  1. If you are connecting for the first time it will ask you several questions. Say no to remembering your password and yes to adding the connection to the list of hosts.
  2. Enter your password

Note: The x-server in Mobaxterm is used to output graphical stuff on your Windows Screen, therefore it is problematic to ssh through servers.

Windows Subsystem for Linux and Ubuntu

On Windows 10:

  1. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off (top left) -> Tick Windows Subsystem for Linux -> Click Ok and Restart.
  2. Go to the Microsoft store and get Ubuntu 18.04 (or whatever is new now)
  3. Launch Ubuntu, create a username and a password
  4. Enjoy your virtual machine
