Secure Shell (SSH) for Windows

Important! As of Nov. 26, 2007, ssh1 is no longer supported at SLAC; you must use a terminal emulator that supports ssh2. Please refer to Prerequisites: Basic and be sure that you have met all of the prerequisites that pertain to your site before proceeding.

SLAC has recently started supporting ssh2 with kerberos5 ticket forwarding to allow access to AFS on SLAC unix. The following tools have been found to work very well together to provide convenient access to SLAC unix from windows. Using these tools it is possible to sign on once using MIT kerberos with your unix username/password and use that token for access to AFS, ssh, cvs and scp.

Recommended Tools

  • OpenAFS

OpenAFS Home

  • MIT NetIdMgr (1.3.0.0)

Available as part of http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/index.html#kfw-3.2

  • PuTTy (0.58 with GSSAPI extensions)

There are many versions of putty which claim to have GSS extensions, but the only recommended one is:
