HiPerGator Accounts

After your account is created you will receive an email on how to setup your account and 2 Factor Authentication using DUO application.

Connecting To HiPerGator

SSH

MACOS: Open terminal and type ssh <username>@hpg.rc.ufl.edu

Windows: You will need to download a ssh client for windows. We suggest Putty (it is also on Software Center for University owned laptops).

 

In Host name (or IP address) put hpg2.rc.ufl.edu and for Port add 22

In Saved Sessions add HiperGator as the name and click SAVE then click Connect.

 

FTP

Please download Filezilla here or you can find it on Managed Software Center for University owned Macs, or on Software Center for University owned Windows machines.

  1. In Filezilla open Site Manager (upper left hand corner icon)

  2.  Create a New site named HiperGator with protocol SFTP, address hpg2.rc.ufl.edu and Port 22.  Change Login Type to Interactive and in the User: space place your HiperGator username

 

 

3. Click Connect and you will get this prompt. Input your HiperGator Password and Click OK.

 

4. Next you will get a DUO prompt. You must input the number 1 or 2 in the password box  (not your password). This allows UF to send you a DUO push or Phone call to the phone you set up as your two-factor device.  After you accept the push or answer the phone call it will log you in and you can upload/download files.

  • orange_quota - show HiPerGator Orange Storage (/orange) quota usage for your project(s).
