For security reasons, ECS has turned off telnet access to all of its servers, SSH (Secure Shell) is required instead. This is a much more secure method for doing remote access.

There are two good freeware Windows SSH clients:
However, sftp server doesn't work on the old Solaris 2.5.1, which runs on cronos and sol, due to bugs in the system socket libraries. Therefore, use SCP (WinSCP) to transfer files to sol and cronos. On the machines with newer Solaris (2.6--8), SFTP server works fine.


Instructions on Using Windows SSH:

1. Open SSH Secure Shell Client.
2. Click on 'Quick Connect'
3. Type in the Host Name, your User Name, and Port Number, then click on Connect.
4. It'll then prompt you to enter the Password.
5. Once you are logged in, refer to the unix commands page.



6. To Access the FTP Client click on the Yellow Folder Icon (Below)




Instructions on Using Putty:

1. Open putty.exe.
2. Type in the Host Name and adjust 'Protocol' to SSH.
3. Click on Open.
4. Type in your User Name and Password to login.
