Connecting to Cat5

1. SSH is a reliable option for running command-line programs. Graphical programs can be run also, but slowly.
   1. Connecting to Cat5 via SSH from Windows 10 (PDF)
   2. Connecting to Cat5 via SSH from macOS (PDF)
   3. Cat5 Host Key Fingerprints (PDF)
   4. Update Host Key in SSH (PDF)
2. X2Go is a faster graphical connection with a full desktop. Some users have trouble with the client software.
   1. Connecting to Cat5 via X2Go from Windows (PDF)
   2. Connecting to Cat5 via X2Go from macOS (PDF)
   3. Cat5 Host Key Fingerprints (PDF)
3. Web Browser methods do not require you to install software on your local computer.
   1. Connecting to Cat5 via a Web Browser (BETA) (PDF) — Similar to X2Go. Currently in "Beta" testing and only recommended if we can't help you get X2Go to work.
   2. Connecting to Cat5 via SSH from Virtual Computer Labs (PDF) — Connect to a virtual Windows computer, then use SSH and Xming to connect to Cat5. Possibly faster than SSH directly from your local computer.
