Using WebShell to Access Your Instance

WebShell (based on Guacamole) provides a web-based alternative to terminal command line software for rapid access or for those times when you installing a terminal is not an option.

• click on Open Web Shell to open a new browser tab/window.
  
• You will automatically be logged in to an account that uses your XSEDE credentials without having to enter your password.
• Note: Only one webshell is available per browser unless INCOGNITO mode is used.

### Because web shell is browser-based, Copy and Paste functions require extra steps.

• Type Shift-Ctrl-Alt (Win) or Shift-Ctrl-Opt (Mac) to bring up the copy-paste clipboard pane
• paste text in the clipboard
• Shift-Ctrl-Alt to close the clipboard
• Text in the clipboard may be pasted now with Shift-Ctrl-V or right-clicking
• Alternatively, selecting text in the WebShell automatically places it in the Clipboard where it may be cut or pasted normally.
