SCP through SSH Tunneling

SSH tunneling can be used to secure copy (scp) files to the clusters from your local 
computer (and vice versa) without having to copy them on to the intermediary bastion host.
This page contains instructions on how to use SSH tunneling on the HPC clusters to
secure copy (scp) the files.


You can do one of the following two methods to secure copy (scp)
 the files from/to clusters to/from your home computer through tunneling.

1.     Put these lines in your ~/.ssh/config file on your personal linux machine. If you don't have this file "config", create one.

Host hpctunnel
HostName hpc.es.its.nyu.edu
LocalForward 8020 usq.es.its.nyu.edu:22
LocalForward 8021 bowery.es.its.nyu.edu:22
LocalForward 8022 cardiac1.es.its.nyu.edu:22
User UserName

Host usq
HostName localhost
Port 8020
ForwardX11 yes
User UserName

Host bowery
HostName localhost
Port 8021
ForwardX11 yes
User UserName

Host cardiac1
HostName localhost
Port 8022
ForwardX11 yes

User UserName

2.     Create a tunnel to the cluster you want to connect from your computer 
through hpc.es.its.nyu.edu. Keep this terminal window alive. It should be
open until you are done with scp or ssh. You should open a new terminal 
window for scp or ssh.

$ ssh hpctunnel

3.     Open a new terminal window.

4.     Copy the files from your desktop or laptop to
 the clusters. This will write the file filename to your /home directory
 on the cluster,  "." means to keep the same name on the cluster.
  Substitute bowery or cardiac1 for usqif writing to one of those clusters.

$ scp filename usq:~/.

5.     Alternatively, copy files from the clusters to your desktop or laptop:


$ scp usq:~/filename .

ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi Logger with Browser GPS + Heat Map Dashboard

This project is an ESP-IDF firmware for the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-C6 that turns the board into a self-hosted, secure Wi-Fi scanning logger. It creates its own access point, serves a responsive HTTPS web UI, logs nearby Wi-Fi access points, optionally tags rows with GPS coordinates (provided by the client browser), and exposes battery status from the on-board LiPo input. The end result is a pocket Wi-Fi “survey” tool: scan, track, export logs as CSV, and generate a heat map view to visualize RSSI vs location. Project overview and feature set: :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} What it does AP + Station mode so the device can serve the dashboard while scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks. HTTPS web interface using a bundled certificate/key for local secure access. Single scan and continuous tracking modes. CSV export for analysis and archiving. Persistent logging to SPIFFS at /spiffs/logs.csv . Battery monitoring via ADC with voltage/percentage/status sh...

Performance Monitoring

Performance Monitoring "System Accounting," teaches about the UNIX accounting system, and the tools that the accounting system provides. Some of these utilities and reports give you information about system utilization and performance. Some of these can be used when investigating performance problems. In this portion of the book, you will learn all about performance monitoring. There are a series of commands that enable system administrators, programmers, and users to examine each of the resources that a UNIX system uses. By examining these resources you can determine if the system is operating properly or poorly. More important than the commands themselves, you will also learn strategies and procedures that can be used to search for performance problems. Armed with both the commands and the overall methodologies with which to use them, you will understand the factors that are affecting system performance, and what can be done to optimize them so that the system performs...

how to run a GUI application throw SSH using X11

soo all we need is first to install the ssh server on the server - machine we like to control so - 1. sudo su 2. apt-get install openssh-server . . now back to our machine using the ssh : 1. ssh -V -X username@the-server-ip 2. enter the password and that is it now we can run any GUI application that install on the server using his CPU cycles yahhhh great !! for example lets run WireShark : 3. gksudo wireshark & now all that if we runing tow Linux machines !! but what windows users that like to run a linux app??! !! soo we need it tow applications 1. putty you can get it here : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html 2.Xming you can get it here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ ok so first we need to install Xming , and after that we going to use butty but we need to cheak Enable X11 forwarding in connection -- > SSH -- > X11 >> Enable x11 forwarding . and that is it free to run any linux application on windows using SSH . have fun ...
