    NOTES:

    • Accessing HPC must be passwordless unless you have a passphrase during the generating of keys.
    • If you want to use your key (generated using PuTTY) in OpenSSH, check this tutorial on converting PuTTY (.ppk) key to SSH Key.
    • You cannot use your OpenSSH keys to PuTTY and vice versa. 

Command Prompt (for Windows 10 only)

  1. Open Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell.
  2. Type command:
    ssh <username>@saliksik.asti.dost.gov.ph

    Useful options: 

    -i <private-keys>Indicate the private key to be used
    -vIncrease verbosity
    -vv, -vvvEnable additional verbosity for even more debugging messages
  3. Type Yes to add the host in your known hosts.
