SSH:  New Brunswick Computing Services



Blue Lock

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that can be used as a replacement for Telnet on UNIX and GNU/Linux systems. Unlike Telnet, which communicates to remote systems using plain text, SSH encrypts all communication going on between the client and the remote system. This creates a more secure environment on both the client and the remote system, and prevents potential security problems that occur when things like passwords are transmitted across the internet in plain text.

SSH available for use on both Eden and RCI. It can be accessed with the following clients.                                                                        

Windows
PuTTY SSH
SSH Corp. SSH Client


GNU/Linux
OpenSSH
 
Macintosh
MacSSH (OS 9 and earlier)
SSH For OS X
