To use SSH, you must obtain a client that supports the SSH protocol.
For Windows users, we recommend the SecureCRT client from Van Dyke Technologies. SecureCRT includes a fully functional, 30-day evaluation license, as well as detailed instructions for using it. You can download a copy of SecureCRT by visiting the following URL:

SecureCRT is already equipped with SSH. To use it, however, you must select "ssh" as the protocol in your session configurations; otherwise, the client will default to Telnet and your session will not be secure. Both the SSH version 1 and 2 protocols are provided by your virtual server, but if you use SSH 2, select “Standard” server, not DataFellows.
For MacOS users, we recommend F-Secure SSH from DataFellows. You can obtain F-Secure SSH at the following URL:
http://www.f-secure.com/products/ssh/
Due to strong cryptographic export restrictions, you cannot download SecureCRT or F-Secure SSH if you are located in a country that is subject to current United States trade sanctions. If you need to obtain an SSH client and cannot obtain one of these recommended clients for this reason, there are a number of free and unrestricted clients available for download from sites outside of the United States, including the following:
