SSH is a terminal program that utilizes encryption to ensure that your password and all data sent and received during your session are kept safe. In order to secure the network, we are encouraging users to use encrypted protocols such as SSH to log into computers and transfer files between them.

For Mac, we recommend:

1. Mac OS X Terminal (free with Mac OS X operating system)
2. Fugu (Graphical SSH Application)

PuTTY is a terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH computing protocol. PuTTY is currently beta software. Licensed under the MIT License, PuTTY is free and open source software.
