  1. Open a new PuTTY window.
  2. 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.
  3. Make sure the Host Name field shows localhost.
  4. Push Open.
  5. 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.
  6. Welcome to Carbon! Repeat these steps as often as you need a terminal window.

Shortcuts

Once you have one PuTTY window open, it is easy to open another one. Choose one of the following:

  • Double-click a session name in the PuTTY configuration window.
  • Click on the PuTTY icon in the top left of an existing window, and select from "Saved Sessions".
  • Right-click on the PuTTY icon in the taskbar and select from Recent Sessions.
