-====== 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.  Ssh can also be used to tunnel less-secure protocols and make them work over restricted [[:computing:network:firewall|firewalls]].
-===== Windows =====
-We recommend **SSH Secure Shell Client**. 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/resources/computing/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 [[https://www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/download/|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 [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/support/software/download/|software download page]], and the required [[http://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.
