Remote Access

Now that you have an account on an HPC server, you need to access it from your desktop or laptop computer. There are many ways to do this, and you may already have your own preferences. We will cover two approaches:

• web-based access via the Open OnDemand platform
• access via SSH from within VS Code

Each approach has its strengths and you may find yourself using both for different reasons.

UMich Advanced Research Computing (ARC) has additional information on some alternative access tools like Putty and FileZilla:
