= Configuring common SSH clients = | |||
Command line clients will typically support multifactor authentication without additional configuration. This is however often not the case for graphical clients. Below are instructions specifics to a few of them. | |||
== FileZilla == | |||
FileZilla will ask the password and second factor each time a transfer is initiated, because by default transfers use independent connections which are closed automatically after some idle time. | |||
To avoid entering the password and second factor multiple times, you can limit the number of connections to each site to “1” in “Site Manager” => “Transfer Settings tab”, note that then you’ll lose the ability to browse the server during transfers. | |||
# Launch FileZilla and select “Site Manager” | |||
# From the “Site Manager”, create a new site (or edit an existing one) | |||
# On the “General” tab, specify the following: | |||
## Protocol: “SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol” | |||
## Host: the cluster login hostname | |||
## Logon Type: “Interactive” | |||
## User: your username | |||
# On the “Transfer Settings” tab, specify the following: | |||
## Limit number of simultaneous connections: checked | |||
## Maximum number of connections: 1 | |||
# Select “OK” to save the connection | |||
# Test the connection | |||
== MobaXTerm == | |||
