Access from home via a PC:
If you wish to connect from home to various computer
systems this semester, you will need a secure means of connecting.
Special software is available which you can download for free. We will be
using the ssh2 protocol.
http://www.ssh.com - A 30-day trial version is available via the "Download" button on this website.
Ben has found another location for a longer-term version: http://www.colorado.edu/its/docs/authenticate/win_ssh.html
Access from your lab/office via a PC:
From the "Start" menu, under "CAS Software",
go to "Communications", select "Tera Term 2.3". SSH has already
been added to this software package. When the window comes up, make sure
"SSH" is selected IF a secure connection is required by the host machine.
OR you can use "Putty SSH Client".
