SSH - the Secure
Shell
Revised June 6 2007
SSH is the required way to connect with the U-System. SSH uses encryption
to prevent eavesdroppers from reading information, such as your password,
from the network. All SSH-type software allows for secure communication,
replacing the vulnerable utilities like telnet, rlogin, ftp
and rcp. You can find free SSH software at the following places:
- Web:
A web-based SSH client can be accessed at http://u.arizona.edu.

support in your browser but it allows secure connection and file
transport to u.arizona.edu without having to download extra
software.
