We provide shell access to your UofR.net account via the secure shell (SSH). Use shell access to run programs directly on the server, modify account settings, finger
other users, and have a good 1337 time.
Most UNIX machines (including Linux, the BSDs, and Mac OS X) ship with OpenSSH installed. OpenSSH provides the command-line ssh
client. Windows and Mac OS (classic) users will have to download an SSH client before connecting:
Connect to the host uofr.net
. Only the SSH2 protocol is supported. For example, to connect using the OpenSSH command-line client, run:
ssh yourname@ssh.uofr.net
Connection processes vary for other clients.
The first time you connect, you will be shown a server key fingerprint asked to verify the server's identity. Make sure the fingerprint matches our server's SSH Key Fingerprint:
62:00:cd:89:aa:cc:ff:8a:c8:11:a2:54:4c:48:76:18
If it does not, someone is doing something nasty and you should not continue to connect.
