Once you have configured the appropriate settings, any SSH-based tools such as ssh, scp or rsync should work out of the box without any additional options.

To test the connection you may ssh into hpc-login if you have access to ECMWF's HPCF:

ssh hpc-login

Or alternatively, if you only have access to ECMWF ECS service:
