-====== SSH secure shell ======
-Secure Shell (SSH) is the recommended replacement for telnet for remote access to Unix and VMS systems. Similarly, Secure File Transfer (SFTP) replaces FTP.
-===== Windows =====
-We recommend **SSH Secure Shell Client**, from [[http://www.ssh.com/]]. The installation includes a **Secure File Transfer** client which is a very useful replacement for FTP. You can obtain the installer from our [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/download/|software download page]].
-A second option is SecureCRT, from [[http://www.vandyke.com/]]. SecureCRT has slightly better terminal emulation than the ssh.com product (useful if you need to use a VMS server, for example). We have a large number of licenses for an older version of this (v3.3). You need to enter this [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/sshlicense.html|license information]]. ADCS also offer licenses for the current version of SecureCRT, which is preferable in some ways (for example, it allows multiple sessions in different tabs of the same window).
-There are also a few free clients, such as [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY]].
-For file transfer (SCP or SFTP), we suggest using **SSH Secure Shell Client** (above), or [[http://winscp.sourceforge.net/|WinSCP]].
-===== Macintosh =====
-We recommend **MacSSH**, from [[http://www.macssh.com]]. You can obtain the installer from our software download page.
-MacOS X users can also use **OpenSSH** (provided with MacOS 10.2 and later). Open the Terminal application, and type "ssh" for help.
-In addition, the Physics Department has purchased a number of licenses for **MacSFTP**, a Secure File Transfer client for Mac OS, which makes an excellent replacement for //Fetch//. The installer can be found on the [[www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/download/|software download page]], and the required [[www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/sshlicense.html|license data is available here]].
-===== Unix =====
-Most modern Unix systems come with a form of SSH already installed. If not, the standard is OpenSSH from [[http://www.openssh.com/]].
-A useful Guide to getting started with ssh can be found at http://kimmo.suominen.com/ssh/
-===== PDA systems =====
-For Pocket PC/ Windows CE devices, sshCE (although untested) might be suitable. From [[http://www.movsoftware.com/sshce.htm|www.movsoftware.com]].
-For PalmOS, you can try [[http://online.offshore.com.ai/~iang/TGssh/|TGssh]].
-===== Multi-platform =====
-There is a java-based SSH client, **Mindterm**, available from [[http://www.appgate.com/], which with a suitable JVM can run on Unix, Windows, Macintosh, and other systems.
-===== SSH servers =====
-Unix and Mac OS X users can use OpenSSH to provide SSH and SFTP servers
-A few SSH servers are available for Windows systems. Although they should not be installed carelessly, they may be useful for secure file transfer or other purposes.
-    * **OpenSSH** is available as a part of **cygwin**, at [[http://cygwin.com/]] (free/open-source). Directions for installing it can be found at [[http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.html]]. There is also an **OpenSSH for Windows** project at [[http://lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/]], which is designed for easy installation.
-    * V**Shell** is a commercial SSH server from [[http://www.vandyke.com/|Van Dyke software]].
-===== Useful Links =====
-    * [[http://www.openssh.com/]], free version of SSH suite. Unix-based.
-    * [[http://www.freessh.org/]] has more links to free SSH software and information.
