Logistics-Day 1

You will need to ssh into lonestar6 for all the analysis in class. Macs come with terminal, so no installation is required. For windows laptops, install putty and winSCP. Putty is used for sshing into loneestar6 and winscp is used for transferring files to and from lonestar6.

Before logging onto TACC servers, multi-factor authentication must be set up. click here to begin setting it up. The DUO app works more reliably than the SMS option.

You will need to provide your password and a TACC token to successfully log in to ls6 or any other TACC cluster.

Login to lonestar6

#If you are using a terminal, open it:
ssh username@ls6.tacc.utexas.edu 
(replace username with your tacc username)
#You will not see the password and TACC token when you type it, but it is going through.

#If you are using putty, open it and enter the following:

hostname:  ls6.tacc.utexas.edu

#Upon prompting, enter username and password


#If you are getting the following error: Corrupted MAC on input, then try this:
ssh -m hmac-sha2-512 username@ls6.tacc.utexas.edu
