Connect from a unix terminal

To connect to your EXPLOR work environment, launch from the terminal :

$ ssh -p your_connection_port your_login@193.54.9.82

In order to avoid having to specify the connection port for each command ssh,scp,rsync,... we recommend the use of an SSH alias

Creating an SSH alias

Create a file `~/.ssh/config on your personal workstation and edit your file

Host meso-explor
    HostName 193.54.9.82
    Port your_connection_port
    User your_login

Modify the file permissions :

$ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/config
You can now connect to the mesocenter with the following command :

$ ssh meso-explor
To copy a folder from your workstation to your EXPLOR workspace you can then use the command :

$ scp -r dossier_posteperso meso-explor:.
instead of

$ scp -r -P your_connection_port file_posteperso your_login@193.54.9.82:.

Change the default password

To change the password, use the command :

$ passwd

Please change your password on your first connection

After changing your password, you can also choose to log in without a password using an authentication key.

From your personal workstation launch the command :

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Press enter twice.
Copy the generated public key to your EXPLOR environment :

$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub meso-explor:.ssh/authorized_keys

You can now log in from your personal workstation without entering a password.
