SSH stands for "Secure SHell", it is one of the easier ways to connect to a machine at UCC, because physically standing up and going over to one is difficult.

Connecting

1. Download and install a SSH client for your OS:

• Windows: PuTTy/KiTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

  • http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=Download

  Linux: OpenSSH

2. Find the details of the server you wish to connect to (most of the time will be Motsugo [ssh.ucc.asn.au::22]).

3. Enter them into your client:

• PuTTY/KiTTY: Host name should be the address of the server, Port will default to 22, which is fine. OpenSSH: "ssh ssh.ucc.asn.au", then say yes to the prompt regarding known_hosts, assuming you trust us.

4. Enter your UCC username and password
