Description

I had to work this out for a ticket, and I figured we might want to put it somewhere, so here's how you set up MobaXterm to connect to Myriad, jumping via the SSH Gateway.

  • Make a New Session
  • Select SSH, and put "myriad.rc.ucl.ac.uk" as the Remote host, check the Specify username box, and add your username, as if you were connecting directly to Myriad
  • Go to the "Network Settings" tab.
  • Click "SSH Gateway (jump host)"
  • Set "ssh-gateway.ucl.ac.uk" as the Gateway host, and your username as the username.
  • Click Okay, and Okay, and that should hopefully start a new session logging you in.

You'll need to provide a password twice, once for the Gateway and once for Myriad, and you'll need to accept the identity of each, as well, if you've never connected to them before.
