QuickStart Putty
Please Note: To connect to the KSU HPC, whether on or off campus, you will need to sign in through the KSU VPN - KSU’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) application called Global Protect. Prior to clicking connect, be sure to select the vpn-groups portal.
From the PuTTY website, download and execute the PuTTY Installer. You can install with the default settings.
Once the install is done, you can start the PuTTY application. If you used the default settings, there should be an icon on your desktop to start the application or you can launch it from the Start Menu.

Connecting
When the Putty app first starts, it will display the configuration menu.
Add the name of the machine you want to access.
Host Name (or IP Address): hpc.kennesaw.edu
Click the Save button to keep this connection available in the Open button’s saved sessions.
The first time you connect to any new system, PuTTY will ask you to authorize using the server's RSA key. Just hit the Yes button and proceed.
Note: HPC connection requirements may change to align with current security policies. Visit the HPC Doc Center for current instructions on Connecting to the HPC.
