Dear Gael,

Thank you for your answer. I already did all the steps over the weekend, but it still does not work. I think the issue is that my HPC username is “dehondt4”, linked to my student account (@etu.unige.ch). However, when I log in to my-account.unige.ch to register my SSH public key, it automatically registers under my @unige.ch account instead of my @etu.unige.ch account.

Thanks again,

Lilou
