ITS-RS recommends installing FastX2 instead of FastX1. Note that Argon only has FastX2. |
You can download the FastX1 client from the FastX - ITS Help Desk - Information Technology Services at The University of Iowa page. You will need to sign in with your HawID and password. On the next page that opens up you will see buttons to download a client. Select the one that is appropriate for your system.

To connect to the HPC systems, you will need to create entries for the hosts. To create a new entry click on the green + button of the FastX toolbar. This will open up a connection editor.
| FastX2 | FastX1 |
|---|---|
 |  |
Be sure to set the User field to your HawkID. Then click on the Save button. Once this is established the server connection will appear in the connection list.
| FastX2 | FastX1 |
|---|---|
 |  |
Double click on the connection entry to establish an ssh connection. You will be prompted for a password if you are not using a key and Duo will autopush an authentication request to your default device with the Duo app or a phone call to your Duo registered phone number. The screen will now look like the following:
| FastX2 | FastX1 |
|---|---|
 |  |
Once the Duo authentication has been approved click on the Start a new session field. This will bring up a menu with some common session options.
| FastX2 | FastX1 |
|---|---|
 |  |
Select the one that you would like to use and it will start up in a new window. When you are finished with a session you can log out of it as normal. This will leave an ssh session open to the server so that any further sessions on that server will not need to go through the Duo authentication. To disconnect from the server completely, either exit FastX or right-click on the server name and select Disconnect.
