Dear Friends, I am using telnet both on Linux and Windows to connect remotely to Linux Servers may be through a Dial-up connection or internet. Looking at security concerns my friends advised me to use ssh as an alternative. Can Somebody suggest me free/commercial utilities to connect from windows/Linux clients using ssh. Most of the work I am doing is at command prompt on Linux servers. File transfers are rare may be some template config files. If there are any gui utilities better. Best Regards R. S. Patil

Good advice!

For windows, I use this -> ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe or... this -> http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe the first one is much much better, the second one is more simple. for linux,unix,etc use OPENSSH -> http://www.openssh.org Good luck and welcome to a little more secure world.

We use putty over here and it's pretty simple to use for ssh and works for us. As an aside we use other putty software (pageant, plink, puttygen, putty) for our windows developers to connect to our linux CVS server over ssh (as opposed to pserver) and all the tools are easy to use. They also have an scp and sftp client. Ben Yau
Hi R.S., if you are running suse openssh should be installed by default. Make sure you allow it through your firewall and you should be able to connect to the linux server from anyplace. If you are trying to run an ssh server on your windows box, you probably want to first look at download.com for an appropriate ssh server. Once you have openssh on your linux box you can also do file transfers via scp which comes in the same package. Best regards, Alex.

OpenSSH comes with ssh client, and for Windows I'd suggest using Cygwin, they have a very detailed system, that can even provide for secure X connections as well. For secure connections, use and generate keys on both ends and use these to connect only, no passwords. Also dissallow root login, and allow only version 2 connections.

I use Putty and love it. Small, easy to use, and the price is right. If OpenSSH is your only reason to install Cygwin, check out Putty. -- Daryl Lee Open the present--it's a gift.
