WARNING: Please note the latest openssh client require the following additional options to login on ecaccess:  ssh .. if you get the following error message: "Unable to negotiate with 193.61.196.110 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" then add the following options to the ssh command-line:

ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -

...

oHostkeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss -oCiphers=+aes128-cbc uid@ecaccess.ecmwf.int

Alternatively, for a more permanent workaround, add the following lines to ~/.ssh/config on your system:

Host ecaccess.ecmwf.int
     HostName ecaccess.ecmwf.int
     KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
     HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss
     Ciphers +aes128-cbc 

A new version of the ssh plugin will be delivered soon to avoid this problem.

You will then be prompted for your passcode (obtained by entering your PIN number into your security token), and then will get a UNIX prompt, typically '$' or '%'. A login with SSH puts you automatically in your home directory on ecgate.
