GUI access If for some reason you really want to replicate the full Zoo experience on your own remote machine, you can try running an X server and forwarding your connection. The instructions below were written by Debayan Gupta in 2013, and may or may not still work. For Mac or Linux users, typing “ssh -X netID@node.zoo.cs.yale.edu” into a terminal and then running “nautilus” will produce an X window interface. When on Windows, I usually use XMing (I’ve included a step-by-step guide at the end of this mail). For transferring files, I use CoreFTP (http://www.coreftp.com). FileZilla (https: //filezilla-project.org/) is another option. Step-by-step guide to XMIng: You can download Xming from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ Download and install. Do NOT launch Xming at the end of your installation. Once you’ve installed Xming, go to your start menu and find XLaunch (it should be in the same folder as Xming). 1. Start XLaunch, and select “Multiple Windows”. Leave “Display Number” as its default value. Click next. 2. Select “Start a program”. Click next. 3. Type “nautilus” (or “terminal”, if you want a terminal) into the “Start Program” text area. Select “Using PuTTY (plink.exe)”. 4. Type in the name of the computer (use “node.zoo.cs.yale.edu”) in the “Connect to computer” text box. 5. Type in your netID in the “Login as user” text box (you can leave the password blank). Click next. 6. Make sure “Clipboard” is ticked. Leave everything else blank. Click next. 7. Click “Save Configuration”. When saving, make sure your filename ends with “.xlaunch” - this will let you connect with a click (you won’t need to do all this every time you connect). - Study24x7
