===== Configuration =====

You find here two of the most common ssh tools described. But many more are available.

==== SSH Client ====

The Unix SSH client is preinstalled on numerous OSes and distributions (including MaxOS-X). Otherwise you can quickly install it using a packet manager.
Standard command for a connection is:
<code> ssh [username]@[ssh server] </code>
while [username] and [ssh server] must be replaced.


==== PuTTY ====

Putty is an open-source windows tool. It operates portable so it does not need an installation. It can be downloaded [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html|here]].

To use it simply type the ssh server name in the "Host Name" field and click "open."
