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 your_username@vyuka.compbio.fmph.uniba.sk
This will allow text-only connection and should be sufficient for most of the course.

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
