 The [[Math Portal]] is the easiest way to connect to a remote desktop on the Math systems. Some users may prefer to use a dedicated client program if connecting through a browser is not suitable. To connect without a browser you'll need to use the [[Cornell VPN]].
-X2GO
+====== X2GO ======
 If you're not using the portal way to connect is to use X2GO or Remote Desktop Connection. You can download the [https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start X2GO client software] here. This software works on Windows, Mac, or Linux. If you are installing the Mac version, you will first want to install the latest version of [https://xquartz.org Xquartz]. For the other platforms, no additional downloads are necessary.
 The latest version of the Math software supports Remote Desktop Connection from Windows. There is also and RDC client available for Mac. To use an RDC client directly, you will need to connect through the Cornell VPN.

+====== SSH Access ======
 You can connect to the Math machines using SSH. This is a text-only method, which some people are very comfortable with. For Linux or Mac, you can ssh into a math system with the built-in SSH client that comes with your machine. Open up a terminal window, and type
- ssh mortimer@fibonacci.math.cornell.edu
+ssh mortimer@fibonacci.math.cornell.edu
 where 'mortimer' is replaced with your Math username, and 'fibonacci.math.cornell.edu' can be any one of the Math linux machines.

 Next, you will need to have the math.vpn permission permit. We usually add people automatically to this permit when they join the department, but it may have been overlooked. You can check this by going to your Math account control panel, and down near the bottom of the page it says "You have these Math permission permits:" Make sure math.vpn is listed. If it is not, contact a Math sysadmin or administrator to add you to that permit.
