Secure Shell Access Through Your Webbrowser

SSH (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist.

The Java applet Mindterm can be used to access the servers using your browser.

How to use the applet

  • Click on the name of your file server on the left to get a login prompt.
  • A Java applet will be downloaded by your browser. Please wait while the applet initializes itself.
  • Click on the applet to get keyboard focus
  • Enter your username at the login: prompt
  • Enter your password at the password: prompt
  • You can now use the terminal window as if it was a local xterm on the server.
