Remote GUI Connection with Fast-X
You can do most of all the labs and demos from the terminal and SSH only. But, if you want a GUI, you can do the following:
- Download the FAST-X client
- Clients are available for Window, MacOS, and Linux
- Launch the Fast-X client
- On Windows, you can launch it from the Start menu
- Before connecting, you must be on the NYU network (either on campus, or connected via VPN)
- In the Fast-X Window, select the + sign near the top left to add a connection. Select host, username and port as above.
- The connection option will now appear in the main window. Double click on that.
- Enter your NYU password
- One connected there will be another + sign near the top left. Select that sign and you will be provided an option for a Gnome terminal or Default Desktop. You can use either.
