A list of ssh programs for UNIX

MindTerm Java applet - Click on the "Launch Applet" link at the bottom. Note: It's a bit wonky. Note 2: Yeah, I'll get around to making a customized page served from yip.org later.- Configuration
OpenSSH - source code available here, precompiled binaries are available through these places:
- Solaris
- AIX
- HP/UX
- IRIX
If you use any other flavour of UNIX that you want precompiled binaries for, let us know and we'll find 'em for you.
FreSSH
SSH, Inc. - If you use this software, you should read this. yip.org uses OpenSSH.

Quick generic configuration information:

Hostname/Server Name: yip.org
Port: 22
Username, login, etc: If your email address is you@yip.org, your username is you .
ssh version: Both 1 and 2 is supported. 2 is more secure and thus preferred.
terminal type: Whatever works. xterm works for some ssh programs, vt102 for others, ansi for yet more. You should probably leave that as the default and change it only if you've got screen drawing problems.

Notes on ssh clients:

Most UNIX operating systems come with ssh installed nowadays. This commandline:

ssh you@yip.org

generally works in most cases. Older versions may force you to use this kind of syntax:

ssh -l you yip.org

The ssh binary may be called ssh2, ssh1, or slogin on some systems - ssh2 is preferred. The directory it resides in may not be in your path, so you may have to hunt for it, using such commands as:

which ssh
whereis ssh
locate ssh
find / -name ssh -print

This is a work in progress.
