Click on this button, and you will see another window appear that looks like this:
Enter in pegasus.montclair.edu and YOUR username into the boxes. When you are done press connect. After pressing connect you should see this:
Without getting too technical, this is just information about pegasus that SSH will use. It is called a public key, and it is used to make the connection secure. Press yes to agree to this. One important thing to note is that you don't really have a lot of time to connect, only about 5 seconds. If you see this:
You will have to try again to login. The public key should only be required one time, so that message will not appear for pegasus ever again. Once you can connect you can see this:
Enter your password in this box, and then press ok. Once you do login, you should see this:
This is similar to what you see when you connect via telnet or puTTY. You can now type, or do whatever you want to in this window. With this version of SSH it is also possible to use a graphical FTP client. Locate the buttons that look like this:
The button on the left will open another terminal, but the button on the right will open a SFTP client, which is a secure FTP. When clicked a window will open:
On the left you should see your local computer, and on the right you should see the files stored on pegasus. You can easily drag items from both sides. This makes getting things a lot easier than command line FTP!. When you are done it is important to logout using the button, or the x.
