Notes from Christina C (Windows)

• When logging into HPC, password is not mirrored on screen for privacy. Do your best to type in the temporary password given to you. Then you will be prompted to retype that password and create a new password.

• Use Powershell on Windows computer if you are not able to connect via Rstudio's terminal.

• If there's an issue with connecting, you can check if the network is setup correctly by typing ping clogin01.sph.emory.edu in your terminal.

• CTRL+C is a shortcut to reset the command line if you need to
• cat config used to see what's inside config file
• cat > config allows you to write a new config file
• CTRL+D is used to save the new config file when done
• to edit aliases, can also use nano ~/.bashrc to open up file viewer to add aliases. use arrow keys to scroll to the bottom to add aliases. cannot simply click to bottom to edit

To get .Renviron file onto HPC, I ran following command. This asked for password, although I set up ssh key and config file for Host sph. Maybe this was done incorrectly

scp \Users\NETID\.Renviron NETID@clogin01.sph.emory.edu:~/

Unclear that the ssh key generation for ease of logging in should be done on remote. Documentation may need update to make it more clear

ssh-copy-id does not exist for Windows. I copied over the .pub file (the public key) to my .ssh folder on the HPC using scp

scp \Users\NETID\.ssh\emory-hpc-key.pub NETID@clogin01.sph.emory.edu:/.ssh/authorized_keys
