Access to Gadi is via SSH to gadi.nci.org.au. This provides a Unix shell on one of the Gadi login nodes.
For security reasons we ask that you avoid setting up passwordless ssh to Gadi. Entering your password every time you login is more secure, or using specialised ssh secure agents.
Connecting from Linux/Mac/Unix
Open a Terminal application and use the following commands:
$ ssh abc123@gadi.nci.org.au |
Replace abc123 with your own username. Enter your password when prompted. If you can't remember your password, you can reset it via Mancini at https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/reset/password/.
To copy files to Gadi you should use the Gadi data movers gadi-dm.nci.org.au:
$ scp /path/to/local/file abc123@gadi-dm.nci.org.au:/path/to/destination/on/gadi |
To copy files from Gadi:
$ scp abc123@gadi-dm.nci.org.au:/path/to/file/on/gadi /path/to/local/destination |
To allow X11 windows from Gadi you need to request SSH to forward the X11 connection to your local computer. You can do this by adding the -Y option to your SSH command:
$ ssh -Y abc123@gadi.nci.org.au |
When using OS X 10.8 or later you will need to install XQuartz from https://www.xquartz.org before you can use X11 on a Mac.
The hostname for SSH connections to Gadi is gadi.nci.org.au. Your username is provided when you created your NCI account. You can check it via Mancini at https://my.nci.org.au/.
