Remote Server Access

Windows

Start by downloading MobaXterm Portable Home Edition. MobaXterm is a way to initiate a secure shell (ssh) session to communicate with the server. The prefered version would be personal and portable, so it could be put on a memory stick. After downloading and unzipping the downloaded file,

1. Open the program.
   
   
2. Click on session:
   
   
3. Select SSH.
4. Type 130.157.3.116 for Cadence server or any other IP address of your Remote host; ie. Raspberry PI.
5. Click OK.
   
   
6. Enter your Seawolf Username and Password for Cadence or any other for your particular application.
   
   
7. You should see a page similar to the following:
   
   

Using MobaXterm, you can easily drag and drop files between your computer and the left side folder column in MobaXterm.

MAC

X11 is no longer a part of OSX, therefore, you have to download it from XQuartz. Once you install and run the program you should get a window like the figure below:

1. Type: ssh -Y your_seawolf_username@130.157.3.116 for Cadence or ssh -Y username@<IP_address> for any other server like Raspberry PI.
   The application may ask you if you want to add the server to your hosts lists. You should type yes (all three letters).
2. Enter your Seawolf password.

In order to move files between your computer and the remote server, use the regular Terminal in Mac utilizing "scp" command:

• scp local-file user_name@130.157.3.116:/home/user_name/remote-file

Add "-r" to copy an entire directory:

• scp –r local-file user_name@130.157.3.116:/home/user_name/remote-file

To move files from server to your computer, just swap the terms after "scp".

If you are to use Matlab, I suggest you do the following:

1. Create a matlab directory by typing:
   mkdir matlab
2. Change directory to matlab:
   cd matlab
3. Run Matlab:
   matlab &

The following two steps apply only to Cadence:

• To start Virtuoso, type virtuoso -nosplash &
• The window that results is that of below.
  
  
• Now you can start your simulation.
