Downloading a Secure Shell Client to Your Desktop
Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista
-
Point your browser to
the PuTTY download page:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
-
On the
"PuTTY Download Page,"
in the section titled "Binaries,"
under
"For Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP and Vista on Intel x86,"
right click on the first link "putty.exe,"
and from the menu select "Save Link As"
(or something similar).
-
Save "putty.exe" to your Windows desktop.
Now you can run PuTTY just by double clicking on the PuTTY icon
on your desktop.
Use the instructions as described in Step #1 of the
Programming Project #1 specification.
MacOS
For MacOS X you don't need PuTTY and can't use it,
because PuTTY is only available for Windows.
However, you can use ssh
from the Unix command line,
by starting up a Unix Terminal window:
-
Double click on your hard drive to open it.
-
Double click on your
Applications folder.
-
Double click on your
Utilies folder.
-
Double click on
Terminal.
Once you get a Terminal window,
you'll get a Unix prompt.
At the Unix prompt,
type:
ssh yourusername@machinename
In the case of CS1313,
yourusername
is your OU4+4,
and
machinename
is
ssh.coe.ou.edu.
You may be asked a yes/no question,
in which case type:
yes
You'll then be prompted for your password.
Unix
Most Unix computers already have ssh installed,
so you can just use it from the Unix command line,
as described above.
