Obtaining the SSH client:
You can obtain SSH from either the Software folder share on hgserv2 (\\hgserv2\software\secure ) or you can download SSH for your PC or Unix system at: http://www.ssh.com/download/
Remember that you can only access the software folder from within the Gonda network, not from home.

Installing SSH:

Double Click on SSHWinClient-3.1.0-build235.exe.

Note:
The latest version at the time this document was made was 3.1.0.

If you download SSH from our intranet, make sure to also download the license file. You will need it later. If you download from the web, the file will be sent to you by email.

After you double click the executable, the installation process will start.

After the installation completes, you need to copy the license file.

Place the license.dat file in the same folder where SSH was installed.
i.e., C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell

Configuring SSH:

The last step is to configure SSH.

Run SSH, then go to profiles and click on Add Profiles

Next, type in the name you want to use for your new profile and click on the Add the Current connection ….

Now, go to Profiles again and select Edit profiles this time. From the new window, select the profile name you just created and then input the hostname and username as it shows in this window. Make sure to put in the host/server name (shown here for matrix.genetics.ucla.edu) and your user name. All other parameters should be set to to what you see here. Then click OK.
