# Connecting to the Servers # Connecting to the Servers
You will connect to all servers using your personal [account](/accounts). There are two main ways to connect to the server: You will connect to all servers using your personal account (see ["Accounts"](/accounts)). There are two main ways to connect:
* Using ssh, for CLI access * Using ssh, for CLI access
* Using a remote desktop client called x2go for GUI access. * Using a remote desktop client called x2go for GUI access.
**IMPORTANT:** the preferred connection mechanism is ssh, as it uses fewer network resources and reduces the load on the server. So, use the remote desktop only if you *really* need a GUI interface for some reason, and remember that there are *very few* valid reasons. For example, not being familiar with the command line is *not* one of them (you are part of a computer engineering group, after all). **IMPORTANT:** the preferred connection mechanism is ssh, as it uses fewer network resources and reduces the load on the server.

Depending on what you're using the servers for, you may also be able to work with a GUI from your local computer and connect to the server transparently. See for example the [page](/remote-code) on remote Python deployment using PyCharm.

See ["Remote Code Deployment"](/remote-code) for an example.
## Connecting with ssh ## Connecting with ssh
Using ssh, you can login to the server from a Linux/macOs terminal, from a Windows PowerShell, or using another client for Windows such as [PuTTy](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html). For most of these clients, the command is just: Using ssh, you can login to the server from a Linux/macOs terminal, from a Windows PowerShell, or using another client for Windows such as [PuTTy](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html). For most of these clients, the command to type is just:
``` ```
ssh <user>@<server> ssh <user>@<server>
``` ```
where `<user>` is the username of your account and `<server>` is one of the [servers](/servers) hostnames. where `<user>` is the username of your account and `<server>` is one of the servers hostnames (see ["Servers Information"](/servers).
