  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.
