How do I SSH into the math servers using MacOS X?
You need to run X11. It can be found in the “Utilities” folder under “Applications”.
This application will load a terminal window. Type the following command in the terminal window:
ssh -X [username]@[server name]
or, to enable trusted X11 forwarding
ssh -Y [username]@[server name]
If you cannot find X11, it may not be installed on your machine. Please email helpdesk@math.purdue.edu and request that it be installed.
