Why SSH?
At Webconexion.net we understand that you may require telnet access to the server to fully administer CGI scripts and databases etc. F-Secure SSH Client enables users to securely transfer files between client and server. All types of files can be transferred, including configuration files, documents, and Web pages.
The Terminal uses the cryptographic authentication, automatic session encryption, and integrity protection methods that are defined by the SSH protocol. FSecure SSH Terminal fully supports VT100 terminal emulation.
Using the F-Secure SSH client
The first time you start the F-Secure SSH Client, a random seed generator will be launched. The random seed needs to be generated before any host or user keys can be generated, as the random seed functions as the starting point for creating them. The random seed is also used to create randomness in all encryption processes and TCP packets.
To create the random seed, move your mouse pointer in the window until the progress indicator reaches the end. When the random seed has been generated, F-Secure SSH Client will be launched.
Connecting to your account
Start the F-Secure SSH Client from the Windows Start menu under Programs > F-Secure SSH Client. To connect to a remote computer using password authentication, follow these steps.
1. When you start F-Secure SSH Client, the Connection dialog box will open automatically. Type the domain name or IP address of your account, and your user name and password on the remote host. Set the Authentication Method to Password.
2. After giving the required information, click OK.
