Downloading SSH

The SSH software that is available here will let you login to our UNIX co mputers without exposing your password to "sniffers" over the net.

You must have a copy of SSH if you want to log in to EECS Instructional Unix systems from home. All EECS department computers have SSH installed.

See /share/b/pub/ssh.help for information about other versions of SSH, including PuTTY, which handles the emacs metakey correctly from MS Windows.

CD-ROM	SSH is available on the EECS Instructional Software CD, which you can get from the friendly folks in 333 Soda, or if you have a fast net connection and a CD-ROM burner, you can burn your own.
Windows	To login to UNIX: PuTTY 0.60 for Windows To transfer files using drag and drop: WinSCP To display UNIX XWindows programs: Xming How-to guide: Using PuTTY to log into UNIX
Mac OS	Mac OS X: OpenSSH is already included. (You can download XonX (a/k/a XFree86-Aqua) from SourceForge for X11 compatibility.)
Linux	Red Hat Linux version 7 already comes with SSH. X Windows (XFree86) comes standard with Linux distributions.
BSD & Other Unix	OpenSSH, a free version of SSH for many Unix platforms, can be downloaded from openssh.com. The easiest X Window System distribution to use is XFree86; you can get XFree86 if you don't have it already from XFree86.org.
