Secure Shell (SSH) is a standard that allows individuals to connect to remote servers in such a way that their login credentials are encrypted and it is the normal means by which Compute Canada users can connect to our servers to execute commands such submit jobs and follow the progress of these jobs.

Various software implementations of the SSH standard exist for most major operating systems. On OS X (Apple) and Linux the most widely used is OpenSSH, a command line application which normally comes installed by default on these platforms. For Windows, individuals have to install an SSH client on their own: the two most common options are PuTTY and MobaXTerm. To use any of these implementations of SSH successfully, you need to know (1) the name of the machine to which you want to connect, (2) your userid and (3) your password.

The use of these SSH clients and more advanced topics like key pair generation and X11 forwarding are discussed in the pages below:
