The Axon login node can be accessed when you are on the Columbia campus or using the VPN by using command below (where UNI is replaced by your Columbia UNI):

Code Block
languagebash
themeFadeToGrey
titleTo login to the cluster ssh into the login node (replace aa3301 with your uni)
ssh aa3301@axon.rc.zi.columbia.edu
aa3301@axon.UNI@axon.rc.zi.columbia.edu's password:
Last login: Fri

[aa3301@axon ~]$

Connecting from outside the Columbia network

...

Code Block
languagebash

> ssh -p 55 aa3301@axonUNI@axon-remote.rc.zi.columbia.edu
aa3301@axon-remote.rc.zi.columbia.edu's password:

You can make an ssh config file to abbreviate the above command. By creating a file named ~/.ssh/config (if it doesn't already exist) you can connect using a shorter name:

Code Block
languagebash
titleSample .ssh config to connect to axon remotely
Host axon-remote
    HostName axon-remote.rc.zi.columbia.edu
    User aa3301UNI 
    # change aa3301 above to your uni
    Port 55

Once you have ~/.ssh/config in place you can run the abbreviated ssh command shown below:

Code Block
languagebash
themeMidnight
titleConnecting using the ~/.ssh/config example above
> ssh axon-remote
aa3301@axonUNI@axon-remote.rc.zi.columbia.edu's password:
