There are two ways to connect to the Mill: the OpenOnDemand web portal and via ssh. Both will authenticate via your S&T username and password once you have created a Mill account. Note that the ssh connection requires you to be on campus or connect to the campus VPN first.

OpenOnDemand

The OpenOnDemand web portal is available anywhere on any device. It can be accessed at https://mill-ondemand-p1.itrss.mst.edu/. After logging in you have access to file uploads, terminal sessions and many GUI apps including a full desktop environment.

ssh on Linux/Mac

Linux and Mac both support ssh in their native terminals. Open a terminal and connect to the cluster with

ssh {username}@mill.mst.edu

replacing *username* with your username. You will then be prompted to enter your password. After successful authentication you will be logged in to the login node and placed in your home directory.

ssh on Windows

Windows users are recommended to use PuTTY, a terminal emulator for Windows, to connect to the cluster. Fill in host name with your username@mill.mst.edu and click open to connect via ssh. Once connected, any command will work the same regardless of your operating system.
