This is an old revision of the document!
One typically uses SSH (Secure SHell) to login to remote workstations and computer clusters like Perun and Graham of Compute Canada. For example one would enter in their terminal:
$ ssh <user>@<hostname>
or
$ ssh -XY <user>@<hostname>
if you would like to use graphical applications remotely. You would then proceed to enter your password to authenticate themselves to the remote host. This standard way of doing things requires a lot of keystrokes, and is suboptimal regarding online security.
A slightly more advanced and much more secure way to login to remote systems would be to make use of so-called SSH Keys.
