How to ssh from Linux

Metacentrum wiki is deprecated after March 2023 Dear users, due to integration of Metacentrum into https://www.e-infra.cz/en (e-INFRA CZ service), the documentation for users will change format and site. The current wiki pages won't be updated after end of March 2023. They will, however, be kept for a few months for backwards reference. The new documentation resides at https://docs.metacentrum.cz.

Open your terminal and run the command:

ssh 'META username'@skirit.metacentrum.cz #You will be asked to fill in password

Note: You can switch 'skirit.metacentrum.cz' for any available frontend

If you log in for the first time, you will be prompted by a question of the following type:

The authenticity of host 'skirit.ics.muni.cz (2001:718:ff01:1:216:3eff:fe20:382)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA.........0xE.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

Type yes and enter. You will be prompted for a password.

For super-cautious users: If you want to check that the fingerprint is correct, compare the one you see in terminal with the one in Fingerprints of SSH keys used on MetaCentrum machines.

After you log in, you should see output similar to this one:
