It depends what you want to do.. if you just want to ssh in (command line), under windows..
use putty
I use cygwin for x-windows (so you can see what you are doing on the server visually).

i use putty, and its very simple to connect to my UNIX account at the UNIversity!
but have been told to use cygwin, when i firsted installed and opened cygwin it opened up did some stuff by its self, then stop with the line "serlex/sercan", now i use this title in my MSN messenger! so how the hell did it get that?????
i wanna connect to ssh.ee.po.......uk server like at putty, how?
Get the main setup file for Crygwin then install the following packages:
*all of xorg-x11-??????? packages
* openssh package
more info at:
http://cygwin.com
When installed locate startxwin.bat from where you installed cygwin; open this and putty after. Using putty change your log in settings to the server that you are trying to log onto. Click OK, log in and then open a GUI program.
'nedit' (assuming it is installed on your university computers) should be a simple and 'fast' program to open and test with.
Woohoo now Assistant Manager!
oh, ^ do what he said.. and also when opening putty don't forget in the options when it starts connections->ssh->tunnels->tick enable X11 forwarding.
I'm drunk, but I think thats right.

Don't forget to save the profile in putty unless you want to type in the settings everytime you open it.
AND Starburn back to your usual self eh?

I blame the people at work.. but still, a free bar is a free bar.

Definately use Putty, I'm a noob but I use it to ssh and tunnel into a guy in torrontos box(with his permission of course) on a regular basis, its easy as pie.
Cygwin scares me, so I open it, cry, and close that nasty lookin' console![]()
Free bar. PM me....Originally Posted by Starburn

otherwise if you have a copy of linux installed, you could just use ssh server@location.xxx
As you will not need cygwin to act as the GUI!

What do you mean. That's was because I had never drunk more than 1/2 pint before. All that's change so get £50 at least in your wallet next time we go out.
Woohoo now Assistant Manager!
