SSH Secure Shell Windows Client Installation Help Document
SSH Secure Shell is an application that protects the TCP/IP connections between two computers (e.g., the connection between your office/home computers and the CSDA’s UNIX server). SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows Client replaces other, insecure terminal applications, such as Telnet and FTP. It allows you to securely login to remote host computers, to execute commands safely on a remote computer, and to provide secure encrypted and authenticated communications between two hosts in an untrusted network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel, expanding SSH Secure Shell's usability even further.
Follow the instruction below to set up SSH Secure Shell on your computer, and contact APC-Help if you have any questions.
