Remote Access

Access to the HPC-clusters is limited from outside the TU Delft network for security reasons. This means that you will have to use either a VPN-connection or connect through a Bastion when you are not at the TU Delft campus.

• Connecting to the console is done through SSH.
• Filetransfers to the cluster are done through SFTP.
• Filetransfers to central storage (i.e. Project shares) are done through sftp.tudelft.nl.

Bastion

The TU Delft offers two bastion servers. These servers can be used to tunnel your traffic to the HPC.

• linux-bastion.tudelft.nl for employees or guests.
• student-linux.tudelft.nl for students.

Console access

Command line

When your desktop/laptop supports ssh, you can connect to the bastion server and from there you can connect to the HPC:

  [user@home]$ ssh <netid>@linux-bastion.tudelft.nl
    netid@linux-bastion.tudelft.nl's password: 
  [netid@bastion]$ ssh <netid>@hpcXX.tudelft.net
    netid@hpcXX.tudelft.net's password: 
    Welcome
  [netid@hpcXX]$

• Replace <netid> with your NetID (also remove the <>)
• When your a student replace <netid>@linux-bastion.tudelft.nl with <netid>@student-linux.tudelft.nl
• Replace <netid>@hpcXX.tudelft.net with the HPC you are connecting to.
