Once you have installed the F-Secure SSH client, you can use the software
to securely connect to a remote system such as WAM or Glue.
-
Start the telnet client by either clicking on Start, then Programs,
then the F-Secure SSH Client Trial folder, then F-Secure SSH
Client Trial, or by double-clicking on the F-Secure SSH Client Trial
desktop icon.
- If this is your first time using either the F-Secure telnet
client or the F-Secure FTP client, you will be asked to generate a random
security code by moving the mouse cursor across the Generate Random Seed
screen. Once you have finished generating the random seed, the window
will disappear.
-
When the F-Secure SSH Client window appears, click on the menu bar item
labeled Quick Connect.
-
The Connect to Remote Host window will appear. Fill in the
boxes with the appropriate information. In the Host name or IP
address box, enter the full hostname of the remote system you wish
to connect to (like "wam.umd.edu" or "glue.umd.edu"). In the User
Name box, enter your username on the remote system. Leave the
rest of the settings as they are unless you know that you need to change
the port number.
-
Then click on the Connect button. A password window will appear.
Enter your password on the remote system and then click OK.
-
At this point, you will be connected to the remote system. You will
see information regarding your last login, a warning message about your
use of disk space (if you are running out of space as in the example below),
a notification if there are any news items regarding the system, and a
command prompt.
-
If you plan on connecting to this remote system again, then you will want
to save the information you entered in step 3 in a profile. To do
this, click on the Profiles button (next to the Quick Connect button)
and choose Add Profile from the menu that appears.
-
A small Add Profile window will appear. Simply type in a name
for the profile and then click on the Add Current Connection to Profiles
button. From now on, you can connect to that remote system again
by clicking on the Profiles, choosing the profile you just made
from the list, and hitting the Enter key or spacebar on your keyboard.
-
To end your session on the remote system, type "logout" at the command
prompt and hit the Enter key. The text in the telnet window will
turn gray when the connection is terminated.
-
