Central IT has transitioned the Unix
servers to the SSH secure client. In order to be able to access the
general.asu.edu, stats.asu.edu, and research.asu.edu servers, users will need to
install the SSH client.
What has changed?
Central IT requires a secure telnet and FTP
program in order to log into the Unix servers
including general.asu.edu, stats.asu.edu, and research.asu.edu. As a result, non-secure
telnet and FTP clients do
not work including: EWAN,
WS_FTP, FTP Voyager, and Windows' built in
telnet and FTP client.
Who is effected?
This change impacts anyone who uses telnet or FTP
programs to connect to the Central IT Unix
servers such as:
general.asu.edu
research.asu.edu
stats.asu.edu
How do I upgrade?
The SSH Client provided by Central IT acts as both a
secure telnet and secure FTP program. It can be downloaded
from Central IT at:
http://www.asu.edu/it/fyi/comm/sw/software/
Once you have downloaded the program, install it by
running it from the
location you saved it to. Once installed, you should have two icons on
your desktop. The icon named
"SSH Secure Shell Client" is the telnet program. The icon named
"SSH Secure File Transfer Client"
is the FTP program.
