  • Install X11 from the Apple OS Disc or www.apple.com
  • Enable X11 Forwarding
    sed 's/#X11Forwarding\ no/X11Forwarding\ yes/' /etc/sshd_config > /tmp/sshd_config
  • Copy it to local ssh config
    sudo mv /tmp/sshd_config /etc/
  • Open Terminal SSH to ECE servers with X11 forwarding on
    ssh -Y <NID>@vlsi.eecs.ucf.edu

Windows User

 

We suggest Xming + putty for Windows user to directly connect to our VLSI server.
  • download putty:
    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
  • download xming and install:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/6.9.0.31/Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe/download
    Or you may download the file HERE.
  • download xming fonts and install:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming-fonts/7.5.0.47/Xming-fonts-7-5-0-47-setup.exe/download (I was told that the font version downloaded from this link may not work for some Windows computer).
    Therefore, an alternative address to download the fonts is at http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ or HERE.
  • run xming, just leave it in the background
  • start putty, with hostname being:
    vlsi.eecs.ucf.edu
  • Also, on the left hand side, under connection for putty's configuration, expand the "SSH" tab and select "X11". In here, enable "X11 forwarding". You can now save this connection info in putty and start the ssh connection. Then login with your account, and you can run programs from the linux box on Windows.
