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.
NOTE: To get access to SSH-gateway server send access request by email to bioinformatics@uef.fi.
| SSH-Connection | Command |
|---|---|
| Localpc | ssh <uefad>@sshgw.uef.fi |
| sshgw | ssh <backend server> |
| or with the one command | |
| Localpc | ssh -t <uefad>@sshgw.uef.fi ssh <backend server> |
| Localpc with X11 Forwarding | ssh -X -t <uef-account>@sshgw.uef.fi ssh -X <backend server> |
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 |
|---|---|
| Connect | ssh <uef-account>@<backend server> |
| Download a file | scp <uef-account>@<backend server>:/path/to/file local/file/system |
| Upload a directory | scp -r local/directory <uef-account>@<backend server>:/path/to/destination |
