Lecture XI

In this video lecture, the presenter demonstrates how to connect to HPC Bura using a Linux-based machine, specifically Ubuntu. The process involves downloading and installing the openfortivpn client. The presenter then configures the connection settings by editing the configuration file. The necessary edits include specifying the host, username, and password. The presenter successfully establishes the VPN connection and proceeds to connect to the login node using the SSH command with the username and IP address. The ability to transfer files between the local machine and Bura is demonstrated using both the graphical interface (SFTP) and the terminal commands. The presenter recommends creating aliases for VPN and SSH connections to expedite the connection process.
