- Open a new PuTTY window.
- Select the session named Clogin and push Load. This session auto-selects a login node. To connect to a specific node instead, select the session named Clogin5 or Clogin6. This will be needed to run host-restricted licensed software (MATLAB) or reconnect to a VNC session.
- Make sure the Host Name field shows localhost.
- Push Open.
- When prompted, enter your Argonne account password. When accepted, you should get our NOTICE TO USERS and a prompt saying login5 or login6 followed by /home/username.
- Welcome to Carbon! Repeat these steps as often as you need a terminal window.
