SSH Clients

Webvisions STRONGLY encourages the use of SSH to access your server via the command line. SSH is more secure than telnet and importantly, it provides an encrypted connection while you are accessing your server.

Putty is a free SSH client that runs under windows. You can download putty by clicking on this link:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest/putty.exe

Putty requires no installation, and can be run once downloaded. You can read the documentation by clicking on this link:

http://www.tartarus.org/~owen/putty-docs/

You should be able to use the same information you used for your telnet client to configure putty - you'll need the hostname or IP address of your server, a username, and a password.

There are other SSH clients available at the following URLs if you prefer something other than Putty or want to investigate your options:
