Make sure your personal computer is connected to the Monash Malaysia network (wired LAN or WiFi). If you are off-campus, please connect to the Monash Malaysia network via the Monash Malaysia VPN.
¶ Linux User
SSH to login node with the username and password you've obtained from the HPC admin.

Replace the term username in the command above with the provided username and enter the password when prompted to do so.
¶ Windows User
The two SSH client software recommended are:
