Downloading SSH: [UC-IT: Windows] (There isn't a version for other operating systems available from the U of C but you might have luck with the other Telnet/SSH programs on university website, checking the website of the company that makes SSH or with a general web search - but be careful of installing malicious software in the latter case!)

3. More information on SSH: [UC-IT website help for SSH], keep in mind that it's been created by UC-IT and not the Department of Computer Science so the help focuses on showing you how to get a remote SSH connection to the UC-IT computers rather than the Computer Science network.
