Shaun’s Notes

Linux and Mac boxes can use the ’ssh’ command via the terminal to connect to a ssh server.
i.e. ssh username@sshserver.com
or ssh -D port# username@sshserver.com [tunnel all activity on port 'port#']

NOTE: the use of -C flag should only be used on a slow link or else compression is counterproductive.

For Windows boxes I recommend the use of PuTTY.
To connect simply enter the hostname and the port of the SSH server.
