Network Remote Access (from outside SISSA)

Access Server & users home/main directories

  • SISSA main cluster users home directories are centrally stored on a file server. These directories are reachable outside SISSA using a Secure Shell remote terminal connection (SSH) on ssh.sissa.it. The access server ssh.sissa.it is configured for some simple operations only. Please read the page about the new common access server for more information.

There are no scientific SWs, compilers or libraries on ssh.sissa.it.
To run your programs, you have to use your workstation or HPC resources.

Users home directories are shared on all Sector workstations, which are assigned to users by the Sector computer responsible.

Scratch areas

On their linux workstations the users can login and use the programs locally installed and the local file system - for example /scratch - (which are never backupped).

Library resources

Special note

  • DIAL UP service is no more available after Santorio moving.

The VPN access lets you obtain an IP address on SISSA internal network wherever you are,
useful to connect (from outside) to linux workstations of your sector.

For more info on how to install VPN client, follow the:

Due to security reasons, the pages about vpn client installation are readable outside the SISSA network inserting your SISSA username and password (of the main cluster)— there are no restriction inside the SISSA network.
