Installing the SSH Client v.3 for Microsoft Windows I T S Help Desk - University of Hawai'iFriday, Installing the SSH Client v3.1 for Microsoft WindowsOverviewMany people use the Telnet program (e.g.: QVT/Term) to connectto a remote machine, likeuhunix2.its.hawaii.edu. During the Telnetsession, a lot of information passes between the PC and the remote machine,including your password, the contents of your email messages and basicallyanything that can be viewed on the screen or typed in at the keyboard.This information could potentially be read by hackers on your networkusing specialized tools. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is alsovulnerable to hackers. For this reason, Telnet and FTP programsare not considered secure.There are several secure alternatives to Telnet and FTP. Onealternative is the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations package, by SSHCommunications. It has 2 components: the Shell Client (a securereplacement for Telnet) and the File Transfer Client (a secure replacementfor FTP). These programs encrypt all data passing between thePC and the remote machine, including passwords.

It allows you to transfer files between your local machineand the remote machine quickly, easily and securely. The graphicaluser interface is very similar to the Windows Explorer; you can literally‘cut’ files and folders from your PC and ‘paste’ to the remote machine.You can also open a file (like a MS-Word document) on a remote machineby simple clicking on it. (You do not have to download it to workwith it.)How to start SSH Secure File TransferTo start the SSH Secure File Transfer program, double clickon the File Transfer Client icon.To create a host profile for the File Transfer Client, followthe same steps outlined above in.Using the SSH Secure File Transfer ClientAfter you open the File Transfer Client and login to theremote machine, you will see a familiar graphical user interface,very similar to the Microsoft Windows Explorer.

In most ways, you can use it likethe Windows Explorer: to delete, copy or rename files and foldres onthe remote machine.Simple Uploading and DownloadingThe File Transfer Client window has a toolbar with severalbuttons. If you are not certain what a button does, move the mouseover the button for a few seconds and a short desctiption of the buttonwill appear. Two important buttons are the Upload button and a Downloadbutton. (The “up arrow” and “down arrow” pictured below.)To upload a file from the PC to the remote machine, clickthe Upload button. (The 'up' arrow on the toolbar.)A new window containing the PC’s files will appear. Selecta local file (or folder of files) you want to upload and click the buttonlabeled Upload.

If you want the program to automatically determine whetherthe file should be transferred as ASCII or Binary, click the AUTObutton on the toolbar.Drag and Drop File TransferYou can also copy files and folders directly between theFile Transfer Client and Windows Explorer, just as though you were copyingbetween two folders on the same machine. You can even use thefamiliar “drag and drop” operations from the Windows Explorer to selectand copy multiple files and folders.There are a few small differences between the SSH FileTransfer Client and the Windows Explorer:. On the remote machine, you can only delete empty folders,not folders that still contain files.

Delete or move the files first. In Windows, you can paste the same file to a folderseveral times (and get new files name like “Copy of Resume.doc”.) Withthe File Transfer Client, file names are not changed during the paste operationon the remote machine. Be careful not to over-write a fileyou want to keep.To end your file transfer session and disconnect from the remotemachine, click the Disconnect button in the File Transfer Clienttoolbar.
