How to connect to the mésocentre

After your project registration and approval (proposal for project), user accounts are created. Please note that they are personal and non-transferable! It means that you can not land your login to another person.

The login servers are the entry gates to mésocentre, you can access it via a secure protocol SSH with SSH keys. The deposit of the public key is done on the management interface copernicus.

The login details and a temporary password for access to copernicus, are sent by email when creating the account.
