+UEF SSH Gateway server can be used to connect various servers that are located within the university network. Authentication is done with the UEF credentials. Replace the **<backend server>** with your target server address and replace **<uef-account>** with your university account.
-## SSH-connection to backend server.
+**NOTE:** To get access to SSH-gateway server send access request by email to [bioinformatics@uef.fi](mailto:bioinformatics@uef.fi).

+You can automate this all by creating local configuration file for the ssh (**$HOME/.ssh/config**) with following content. If you wish to forward X11 applications add "ForwardX11" option as well.
+```
+# content for the $HOME/.ssh/config file
+Host <backend server>
+    ForwardX11 yes
+    ProxyCommand    ssh -W %h:%p <uef-account>@sshgw.uef.fi
+```
+After you have created the configuration file you can directly connect to the <backend server>
+^SSH-Connection ^Command^
