Windows SSH Client
- Meghan Netterville
SSH Client recommended options:
PuTTY
PuTTY is a widely-used, free SSH client for Windows. It supports various network protocols, including SSH, Telnet, and SCP. It's lightweight and easy to use
MobaXterm
MobaXterm is an advanced SSH client that offers a range of features, including a built-in X11 server, tabbed SSH sessions, and support for various remote network tools. From this ssh client, you will be allowed to run the Unix commands you need.
Using a Remote Desktop Client
A remote desktop client lets you see a whole Linux desktop on a remote computer from your local computer. Connecting to Linux via SSH and X-Windows is efficient in that it uses a lot less of the remote computer's resources, but a remote desktop can be much faster if you are doing visualization on the remote computer from off campus.
If you use a Windows machine:
Use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect. This software is pre-installed on Windows desktops. To run it, find Windows Accessories in your Start menu, then click Remote Desktop Connection.
If you use macOS:
Search for Windows App (previously Remote Desktop) at the App Store. It works just like the Remote Desktop Connection in Windows. Tip: if authentication fails, make sure your software updates are current.
