====== MobaXterm ======
This page explains how to connect to our frontends using [[https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/|MobaXterm]]. This software allows you to generate ssh keys, create SSH-tunnels, copy data and supplies an X-Server for Windows.

===== Creating an SSH Key =====

The command used to generate the key file is:
''ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f .ssh/id-rsa''
===== Uploading the Key =====
To upload a key, please log into your account on the [[https://www.gwdg.de/|GWDG Website]], go to “My Account”. Then scroll down to “Other Settings” and click “edit”. You can now add a public key. 

===== Connecting to the cluster =====
If you are outside the [[en:services:network_services:goenet:start|GÖNET]], e.g. not on campus and are not able to connect to the [[en:services:network_services:vpn:start|VPN]], you need to use login.gwdg.de as an SSH-gateway or jump host.

If you are already in the GÖNET, you can leave out the "SSH Gateway (jump host)" configuration in "Network settings".
