### Secure Shell (SSH) { #access-ssh }

The `ssh` command (Secure Shell, or SSH protocol) is the standard way to connect to Vista and initiate a login session. SSH also includes support for the UNIX file transfer utilities `scp` and `sftp`. These commands are available within Linux and the Terminal application within Mac OS. If you are using Windows, you will need a modern terminal application such as [Windows Terminal](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N0DX20HK701?hl=en-US&gl=US), [MobaXterm](https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/) or [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/download/).

The above command will rotate connections across all available login nodes and route your connection to the next available node.

To connect to a specific login node, use its full domain name:
Use your TACC portal password for direct logins to TACC resources. You can change or reset your TACC password via the [TACC Portal][TACCUSERPORTAL] under "Manage Account". To report a connection problem, execute the `ssh` command with the `-vvv` option and include this command's verbose output when submitting a help ticket.

Do not run the `ssh-keygen` command on Vista. This command will create and configure a key pair that will interfere with the execution of job scripts in the batch system. If you do this by mistake, you can recover by renaming or deleting the `.ssh` directory located in your home directory; the system will automatically generate a new pair for you when you next log into Vista.
