The UNIX ssh program is used to establish a secure loggin on a remote machine. It encrypts all communication between the local machine and the remote machine. On a Windows platform, an ssh loggin can be established using the PuTTY program.
Here is an example of a secure shell loggin to csdev08.d.umn.edu. The command typed by the the user and responses to prompts are shown with a light blue background.
