Use the command-line 'sftp' or 'scp' clients. X Window System Server. To run Unix X11 graphical programs, open a xterm or other terminal window within a local X11 session, and type 'ssh -X [email protected]' to login with automatic X11 port forwarding enabled. WinSCP is an open source free SSH client for Windows with the focus on secure file transfer. You can get it from WinSCP download page. Latest stable WinSCP version is 5.17.10. What is SSH Client?
Department-managed computers should already have SSH/SCP/SFTP client software pre-installed for immediate use.Apple Mac OS X
Microsoft Windows
UNIX/Linux
On Self-Managed ComputersIf your computer does not already have SSH/SFTP/SCP client software installed, download and install the following software:For Apple Mac OS XSSH
Apple Mac OS X comes with SSH pre-installed.
Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app -> At the prompt, type 'ssh username@euclid.ucsd.edu'.
Use Software Update or manually download software updates to update to the latest SSH version.
SFTP/SCP
For a graphical SFTP client, download and install Cyberduck, Fetch, or FileZilla.
Or use the pre-installed command-line 'sftp' or 'scp' clients from a Terminal.app window.
X Window System Server
For Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer, download and install XQuartz.
For Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or older, use the Apple X11 client under Applications -> Utilities -> X11.app. If X11.app is not already installed, download and install Apple X11.
To run X11 graphical programs, open a XQuartz.app/X11.app window -> At the prompt, type 'ssh -X username@euclid.ucsd.edu' to login with automatic X11 port forwarding enabled. For X11 programs that require the use of trusted X11 forwarding, use the '-Y' flag instead of '-X'.
For Microsoft WindowsSSH
Download and install SSH Secure Shell for Workstations or PuTTY.
(If you do not have local administrative privileges to install software on the Microsoft Windows computer you're using, download and install PuTTY since it can be run without an installation process first.)
SFTP/SCP
The SSH Secure Shell for Workstations software includes BOTH a SSH client (named Secure Shell Client) and a SFTP client (named Secure File Transfer Client).
For other graphical SFTP clients, download and install Cyberduck, WinSCP, or FileZilla.
(If you do not have local administrative privileges to install software on the Microsoft Windows computer you're using, download and install the 'portable executables' version of WinSCP.)
X Window System Server
To run X11 graphical programs, use a Microsoft Windows X11 client such as Xming that can connect to the server using SSH (not via telnet, rlogin, rexec, or XDM).
For UNIX/LinuxSSH![]()
Most Unix/Linux distributions come with SSH pre-installed.
Open a xterm or other terminal window/console -> At the prompt, type 'ssh username@euclid.ucsd.edu'.
If SSH is not already installed, read the system documentation on how to update your system or install OpenSSH.
SFTP/SCP
Use the command-line 'sftp' or 'scp' clients.

This guide contains description of setting up public key authentication for use with WinSCP. You may want to learn more about public key authentication or SSH keys instead.

Before starting you should:
If you do not have a key pair yet, start with generating new key pair.
Connect to your SSH server using WinSCP with the SSH protocol, using other means of authentication than public key, e.g. typically using password authentication.
Once logged in, configure your server to accept your public key. That varies with SSH server software being used. The most common SSH server is OpenSSH.
You can use Session > Install Public Key into Server command on the main window, or Tools > Install Public Key into Server command on SSH > Authentication page page on Advanced Site Settings dialog. The functionality of the command is similar to that of OpenSSH
ssh-copy-id command.
Or you can configure the key manually:
There are some specifics when setting up the public key authentication on OpenSSH server on Windows.
For other SSH server software, you should refer to the manual for that server.
Winscp Ssh Keys
When configuring session, specify path to your private key on SSH > Authentication page of Advanced Site Settings dialog.
Selecting A Strong Password
Alternatively, load the private key into Pageant.
Cloud providers have typically their own mechanism to setup a public key authentication to virtual servers running in the cloud.
