These are the instructions on how to install and configure your Teleport SSH access on the native Windows Terminal or Powershell to connect to ECMWF services such as the Atos HPCF and ECGATE ECS services.

Info

Check the following pages if you are using another Windows method:

Here is a demonstration on how to set up Teleport to connect to our our Atos HPCF from your terminal on a Windows 10 or 11. You can find the step by step guide described below.

Installing the tsh client

...

  1. Open the zip file in your file browser
  2. Drag the teleport folder inside the file and drop into the directory of your choice (the main directory for your user, for example)

  3. Open a Powershell and add to the PATH variable the location of the teleport directory. For example, if you dropped it on your main user directory (C:\Users\yourusername):

    No Format
    setx PATH "%USERPROFILE%\teleport;%PATH%"


Warning

Please be aware that you must use a version of "tsh" equal to or lower than 13. We are working on removing this limitation in the very near future

    1. If config exist, open it with your favourite editor, such as notepad or vscode.
    2. If config does not exist, you can open your favourite editor such as notepad or vscode to create the file and save it later

  4. Add the snipped below in the file you opened. You should replace ecmwfusername by your registered ECMWF user and user.address@somewhere.com by your registered email address at ECMWF.
