Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure connection between two computers. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands,it can also transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols. An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22, however, Surpass however, sets their servers to listen on port 1291.

Requesting SSH

SSH access is now free on all shared and reseller plans. Open a ticket at our helpdesk to request access. Of course, once activated - please use your access responsibly.

I have it. Now what?

Command Line

If you have an understanding of *NIX command line, have at it. If not, take a look at this Shell Tutorial: LinuxCommand.org: Learning the shell.

File Transfer

Get an SFTP client like WINSCP. This freeware software is only available for Windows.

========================================

FUGU

FUGU is an application for MAC OSX that enables you to transfer/manager files on your Server through a graphic interface. FUGU can be downloaded for free and used at no cost.

To use FUGU simply download it by visitng: Research Systems Unix Group: Fugu

Then install FUGU like you would any normal OSX program. Once installed and executed you will see a screen similar to the one below:



Log In

To login to your server fill the following fields as described below:

* Connect to: your ip address
* Username: most likey root
* Port: in most cases you can leave this field blank
* Directory: leave this field blank unless you know the path of the folder that you want to access right away

Then Press Connect. You will be taken to a second screen with one more field in which you need to enter your password. This time Press Authenticate. The next screen you will see will be similar to the one below (except it won't be shaded).

The area shaded Blue represents the files on the computer you are working from (also known as local). The area shaded Red represents the files on your server (also known as remote).



Caution: Don't touch/delete/move/edit files unless you know what you are doing.

Alternatives

FUGU replaces the following command line functions:

* ssh
* scp
* sftp

Please not that FUGU does not replace everything involved with the above functions. FUGU is just an alternative method for those of us who prefer to see something visual.
