Remote Login per SSH / X2go
Access from outside TUHH is only possible through a VPN connection or via the RZ SSH server. From the SSH server, you can access data in your home directories and personal homepage, as well as connect to other computers at TUHH.
On Linux, the ssh client and X server are part of the operating system and do not need to be installed separately. A remote login is performed simply with:
> ssh -X username@Hostname.rz.tu-harburg.de
Example: SSH server as a Jump-Host (refer to the RZ SSH server)> ssh -J ssh.rz.tuhh.de l05p33.rz.tu-harburg.de
- Host:
Hostname.rz.tu-harburg.de - Username: Your TUHH account name
- Password: Your TUHH account password
MobaXterm for Windows Users
Download the "Portable Edition" of MobaXterm from the manufacturer's website and place the program in a dedicated folder on the desktop. After downloading, start MobaXterm by opening the downloaded file. To connect to the Linux Pool, click on "Session" and select "SSH".
Then enter the following information:
- Host:
Hostname.rz.tu-harburg.de - Username: Your TUHH account name
- Password: Your TUHH account password
To avoid storing the password for a remote server in MobaXterm, follow these steps:
Ensure you have established a VPN connection to TUHH.
PuTTY (for Windows)
If you are logging in from Windows to a Linux Pool computer and want to start graphical applications there, you need an SSH client likePuTTY and an X server such as VcXsrv, Xming, or Cygwin/X on your PC.
In PuTTY, you need to configure the following:
Connection --> SSH --> X11 -> [x] Enable X11 forwarding
Connection --> SSH --> Tunnels -> [x] Local ports accept connections from other hosts
-> [x] Remote ports do the same
X2go
A simple and more efficient alternative is to install an X2go client on your home workstation, which is available for most operating systems.
After establishing a VPN connection to TUHH, enter the following to start a new session:
