This page describes how to connect to our sever from a Windows computer.

Connection through ssh

You can use ssh client available in Windows 10. On the command line use: 

ssh <username>@vyuka.compbio.fmph.uniba.sk

This will allow text-only connection and should be sufficient for most of the course.

See also more detailed instructions here [1]

However, if you want more configurable client with a capability of tunneling application GUIs, you can install putty client instead.


Installation of X server

To use applications with GUIs, you need to tunnel X-server commands from the server to your local machine (this is accomplished by your ssh client), and you need a program that can interpret these commands on you local machine (this is called X server).

  • Install X server, such as xming
  • Make sure that X server is running (you should have "X" icon in your app control bar)
  • Run putty, connect using ssh connection type and in your settings choose Connection->SSH->X11 and check "Enable X11 forwarding" box
  • Login to the vyuka.compbio.fmph.uniba.sk server
  • echo $DISPLAY command should show a non-empty string (i.e. localhost:11.0)
  • Try running xeyes &

Copying files to/from the server

  • You can copy files using scp command on the command line
  • Alternatively use the graphical WinSCP program
