Frequently asked Questions about SSH

  "What is ssh?":WhatIsSsh

  "How can I SSH to another host without using a password?":SshKeygen

  "How can I use passwordless login, without having to enter my passphrase
every time?":SshAdd

  "How can I securely copy files and programs from one computer to another?":Scp

  Can I run graphical programs on another computer and have them displayed here?

  Yes. Just include the -X option when you SSH to the other computer. That will forward your X session over an encrypted tunnel. A little slow, but nice and secure. Or enable X forwarding on the remote page, with the
following changes. ::

       /etc/ssh/sshd_config
       X11Forwarding yes
       X11DisplayOffset 10

  Is there a Windows SSH client?

  Yes. "PuTTY":http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/  is the most highly regarded and easy to use.

  The ssh that comes with cygwin is virtually identical to what you'd expect to see on a UNIX system and Linux.  If you're using Linux and have to use a MSWindows machine, the first thing you should do is to install the full cygwin suite.

  Is there a Windows scp (secure copy) client?

  Yes. "WinSCP":http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/
