SSH Information

Security is something we take very seriously in IT Services. Minimizing lost time for scientific users and support staff is our intent. The risk of vandalism and disruption is definitely real!

Secure Shell (SSH) is the only method currently available for those that want an interactive UNIX shell from remote facilities or from home. Telnet is not permitted.

Clear text email access via POP is not available from off-campus. Implementation of a client that utilizes SSH, or that can be configured to port forward or use APOP, is required. For more information, click on: http://www.scripps.edu/rc/security/.

Information is provided below for various SSH client programs.
