Logging into the Server (/Test Machine)
The server supports Remote Desktop, ssh, and vscode login methods. vscode is recommended.
1. Using vscode [Most Recommended]
Go to the official website Download VSCODE and install it. Then install the Remote - SSH plugin. Use the plugin to access the remote server. Navigate to the project directory on the server and install the Python and Jupyter plugins.
Warning
When logging into a remote SSH for the first time with VSCODE, it will automatically download software and configure the environment on the server. Please be patient. VSCODE updates frequently, which can cause the Python and Jupyter environments to become outdated. If this happens, update VSCODE and restart the software. You can disable VSCODE auto-updates in the settings.
Error
Older WINDOWS computers have system issues that cause VSCODE's SSH connection to keep spinning or fail. Please download the latest software from the OPEN-SSH official website and add it to the search directory, replacing the original SSH.
2. Using ssh
On a Windows client computer, hold down the Win R shortcut key, enter cmd in the Run window that pops up. In the terminal command window that appears, enter the following command and input the password.
ssh chenxinfeng@10.50.60.6
Tips
If you want to log in without a password, you can search the internet for "ssh passwordless login".
3. Using Remote Desktop Login [Avoid]
On a Windows client computer, hold down the Win R shortcut key, enter mstc in the Run window that pops up. The Remote Desktop login window will appear.
Enter the server's IP address and Connect. Then enter the username and password.
In general scenarios, VSCODE is recommended as the server connection tool. It is also recommended to install AI programming assistants like CodeGeeX in VSCODE (registration required).
| Suitable Scenarios | Disadvantages | |
|---|---|---|
| VSCODE | Text and code editing, jupyter analysis and plotting | Frequent updates, complicated environment configuration, consumes server performance |
| SSH | Running temporary scripts or modifying environment | Poor visualization |
| Remote Desktop | Graphical interface programs | Laggy, limited by network quality |
