Sanctum / SSH

 

SSH is a mechanism to securely access a remote machine through an encrypted communications channel. Those who have access to the Project Aon web server are highly encouraged to use SSH and its file transfer extension SFTP rather than insecure legacy applications such as Telnet and FTP.

Windows Clients

  • WinSCP (file transfer only) A simple to use interface similar to the above without the command line client. Highly recommended for those who never plan to use the command line.
  • PuTTY (primarily command line) Although PuTTY can be used for file transfers, WinSCP is better for this purpose.
  • More recommendations from OpenSSH

Unix Clients

Most *nixes will have some version of ssh already installed.

Mac OS X

OS X should have OpenSSH already installed.
