Connect from a unix terminal

  • To connect to your EXPLOR work environment, launch from the terminal:
ssh -p <votre_port_de_connexion> <votre_identifiant>@193.54.9.82
Astuce

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 or edit the file ~/.ssh/config on your personal workstation and add:
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:
ssh meso-explor
  • To copy a folder from your workstation to your EXPLOR workspace:
scp -r dossier_posteperso meso-explor:.
  • Instead of:
scp -r -P your_connection_port dossier_posteperso your_login@193.54.9.82:.

Change the default password​

To change the password, use the command:

passwd
warning

Please change your password on your first connection.

Login without password​

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

  • From your personal workstation run:
ssh-keygen -t rsa

  • Press Enter twice (to accept defaults and no passphrase, or follow prompts to set one).

  • Copy the generated public key to your EXPLOR environment:

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub meso-explor:.ssh/authorized_keys
Quick security notes
  • Protect your private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa): set permissions to 600.
  • Only add public keys you control.
  • Change your password regularly if required by your policy.
