Then you must have a westgrid account which you can apply for by loging into [https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/ https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/] with your Compute Canada account. Then under "My Account" select "Apply for a Consortium Account" and click the "Apply" button next to "WestGrid" to apply for a WestGrid account. Once you have a WestGrid account go to [https://www.computecanada.ca/create-a-cloud-account/ https://www.computecanada.ca/create-a-cloud-account/] to apply for a cloud account.

-Go to [https://east.cloud.computecanada.ca https://east.cloud.computecanada.ca] or [https://west.cloud.computecanada.ca https://west.cloud.computecanada.ca] and enter your WestGrid credentials. After you have logged in, you are presented with the dashboard. From here you can see an overview of the resources you are using.
+#Select an SSH session.
+#Enter the public IP address for your VM in the <i>Remote host</i> address field.
+#Ensure that the <i>Specify username</i> checkbox is checked, then enter the image type for your VM (ubuntu for example) into the username field, all lowercase.
+#Click on the <i>Advanced SSH settings</i> tab, and check the <i>Use private key</i> checkbox.
+#Click on the page icon in the far right of the <i>Use private key</i> field. In the pop-up dialogue box select the key pair (.pem file) that you saved to your computer at the beginning of this quick guide.
+#Then click on OK. MobaXterm will then save that session information you just entered for future connections, and also open an SSH connection to your VM. It also opens an SFTP connection which allows you to transfer files to and from your VM using drag-and-drop via the left-hand panel.
