SSH (Secure SHell) is a secure (ecnrypted) remote terminal protocol. Using
SSH, you can have command-line access to PARC network from Internet.
You can logon to our inbound-ssh server, sshgate.parc.com, using your SecurID
account, then logon to your workstation from sshgate. The server uses the
default ssh port(22/tcp). You can also do file copies between your client
and sshgate using scp command. All your communication including password is encrypted
between the client and the server. SSH also offers the capability to tunnel
other services such as X11, web access, IMAP, etc.
To use ssh, you have to have ssh client software installed on your home
PC or laptop. If you rely on sombody else's computer during your business
trip or vacation, you should ask your host to install it or you should install
it by yourself. Our server supports ssh-2 protocol only,
so you have to make sure your ssh client supports ssh-2.
