SSH

The software needed is the widely available SSH client software. Several implementations are available for free for certain licensees (home and academic users in particular). The following is an (incomplete) list of available software. The first listed is the one to be used in the illustrated examples, your mileage with the other SSH clients may vary.

OS:

Windows

1. PuTTY (preferred) ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/), free for all uses, SFTP client included, but for transfers, use WinSCP.
2. WinSCP (http://winscp.net/), a SCP and SFTP Windows client providing similar functionality to SecureFTP, with some ability to sync directories. Used for transfers only.
3. SSH Secure Shell for Workstations (http://www.ssh.com), Academic and Non-commercial use free, but government/commercial clients need a license; see Putty as an alternative. Includes SFTP client. At the time of writing, the latest version was 3.2.9 (direct link). Note: we no longer support use of this software. Please use PuTTY.
4. SecureCRT (http://www.vandyke.com/), downloadable trial version, no free version, SFTP (SecureFX) client separate. At the present time, there seem to be some problems with this client.
5. Entunnel (also http://www.vandyke.com/), downloadable trial version, no free version, tunneling capability ONLY (no terminal). Not tested.

OS:

Linux/Unix

1. OpenSSH (http://www.openssh.com/), all uses free, includes clients for SCP and SFTP transfers.
2. SSH Secure Shell for Workstations (http://www.ssh.com), all uses free, includes (command-line) SFTP client. Note: we no longer support this software. Please use OpenSSH.
3. GFtp, a graphical client using the Gnome graphical desktop
4. Konqueror, the standard navigator under KDE, has SFTP support in versions 3.0.8+

OS:

Mac OS X

1. A command-line OpenSSH client is available by default on Mac OS X, and works the same as the OpenSSH version listed under Linux.
2. Fugu (http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/) is a graphical client for SCP. Occassionally used by VirtualRDC administrators.
3. Other graphical clients may exist, but we have not tested any. If you have any experience, please let us know.

OS:

Java

1. Mindterm SSH client (http://www.appgate.com/mindterm/). A local copy is available at http://lservices.vrdc.cornell.edu/ (password required)
