How do I use X forwarding with the scarcity cluster?

For more information that may not be contained here, please see the Compute Resource Guide​

1. For Windows:

   1. Download and install the latest version of Xming here ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ )

   2. Download and install the latest version of PuTTY here ( http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe )

   3. Open PuTTY and enter the hostname you want to connect to (e.g. scarcity-9.glbrc.org)

   4. Next, click on Connection>SSH>X11 on the left pane, then check the box next to Enable X11 forwarding.

   5. You can click Open at this point to initiate the connection, or if you would like to save this connection profile, proceed to the next step without clicking Open.

   6. Click Session in the left pane and then type in a name you would like to assign to this saved session in the box right below the line "Saved Sessions" then click Save and it will appear in the box below.

   7. If you want to connect to this session in the future, you can just double-click the session you want to open from the saved sessions window.

   8. Run the command as you normally would from the command line.

2. For Mac:

   1. Download and install the latest version of Xquartz here ( http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ )

   2. Open the Terminal application

   3. Run the command: ssh -X @scarcity-.glbrc.org

      1. Make sure the X is capitalized and that you replace the with the node you want to connect to.

   4. Run the command as you normally would from the command line.​
