Getting Started

SSH Connection Settings

The optional SSH (Secure Shell) client/server protocol is used to encrypt and transmit data securely over a network, with authentication (proof of client identity) provided by a password and/or key.

To enable an SSH connection, select the SSH option in the Connection Wizard Host Information dialog box or, when running TeemTalk, in the New Connection dialog box Type list box. The Telnet Port Number option must be set to the host's SSH port (22 is the default for SSH).

SSH Connection using Username and Password

1.Select the SSH option in the Connection Wizard Host Information dialog box, or from the New Connection dialog Type list box when running TeemTalk.

2.Display the Telnet Options dialog box and change the Port Number to the host's SSH port (22 is the default for SSH) then click OK.

3.Click the Advanced or Configure button to display the SSH Connection dialog box.

4.Enter your username and password, ensuring that Password is selected. Then click OK.

5.Click the Connect button. TeemTalk will attempt to make the connection.

If the username and/or password are invalid, TeemTalk will prompt you to re-enter them. (Note that some servers will not allow you to change the username at this point.) To work round this, if you see your username is incorrect, click Cancel to abort the connection and then restart as step 1.

If your password has expired, TeemTalk will prompt you to enter a new one.
