X-Win32: is a windows proram that runs on most versions of the OS, and acts as a gateway to logging into and displaying graphics from
UNIX/Linux computers.
After installing the program from OIT, follow these instructions to create a double-hop between
eas-ssh.eas.gatech.edu and masaya.eas.gatech.edu from your machine. You can switch the second machine for any other on the geophysics
network, depending on your needs.
Please be aware that details may change depending on version of the software and OS.
- Launch X-Win32.
- In the configuration window click 'Manual...' on the top right.
- Select 'ssh' as the Connection Method.
- Fill in the "General" tab only for the config.
Connection name: Masaya through Vorlon
Host: eas-ssh.eas.gatech.edu
Login: 'your buzzport login'
Command: ssh -X 'geophys username'@masaya.eas.gatech.edu -t xterm
click save.
NOTE: change red items above
- Right click on connection 'Masaya through Vorlon' and click 'Launch'.
- Accept and store ssh or askpass key.
- Enter first your buzzport password to login to eas-ssh.
- Accept and store again any ssh or askpass key.
- Enter your local password. Remember it is only 8 characters.
- A terminal window should now appear from masaya. Please test to make sure you can actively type in it,
and display remote windows. Probably the most useful thing to type would be 'xterm &' without the quotes,
as this will bring up a second window that you can also work in.
- To close the terminal windows, just type 'exit'. Once you've closed all windows, the connection should automatically stop.
- There is no twelfth step.
Note: If you save the ssh keys, steps 6 and 8 will be skipped for future steps.
