Logging in from home

Download and install two programs from http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/software/download/win/index.html:

• SSH Secure Shell (Secure Telnet Client)
• X-Win32 (X terminal application)

Configure SSH just once (there's no need to reconfigure these settings after you've done it once):

• Start up the SSH Secure Shell Telnet Client. Under "Edit", select "Settings".
• Under "settings", select "Tunneling".
• Under "Tunneling", check the box that says "Tunnel X11 Connections". Select the OK button.
• Under "File", select "Save Settings"
• Exit the SSH Secure Shell program for now.

Start the XWin32 Program.

• Make sure a blue "X" appears in your lower right icon tray.
• Start the SSH Secure Client Program. Select "Quick Connect".
• Under "Host Name" type in unix.eng.buffalo.edu (or dracula.eng.buffalo.edu, or joker.eng.buffalo.edu).
• Under Username, type in your user name. Port Number is 22. Authentication method is password. Select the Connect button.
• You should get a password prompt. Type in your user number.
• You should get a Unix Terminal Session.
• To test that you have full graphics capability, type xeyes.
