Lecture V

In this video lecture, the presenter explains how to access HPC Bura using a Windows-based machine without relying on a web browser. The presenter demonstrates the installation and configuration of the FortiClient VPN software to establish a VPN tunnel to Bura. Then, the use of Bitvise SSH Client as an SSH client for connecting to Bura’s login nodes is discussed. The presenter walks through the process of setting up the VPN connection and establishing an SSH connection using Bitvise SSH Client. The importance of knowing the IP address of the login node and instructions on how to find it are given. Additionally, the presenter demonstrates how to transfer files between the local machine and Bura using the SFTP functionality of Bitvise SSH Client. This method allows for easy drag-and-drop file transfer without the need for archiving or compressing files.
