MACS Servers (X2Go)

This is a more comprehensive list of available hosts for students.

You can SSH to the gateway with: ssh -p 44788 <username>@sshgw.hw.ac.uk

You will still need to enter the internal MACS Servers (jove, osiris) listed above after getting into the SSH Gateway with ssh <username>@ssh.macs.hw.ac.uk


(P.S. You can simplify the process with
ssh -J <username>@sshgw.hw.ac.uk:44788 <username>@ssh.macs.hw.ac.uk )

You can SSH to the hosts with: ssh <host>

NOTE: Make sure you have MFA Enabled as you will be required to enter a verification code too.

Make sure your authentication method is set to Mobile app in your MFA Setup.
