# Windows
there are many many ways to connect to an SSH server on Windows, here's a sample of some of them.
### the fastest: via powershell
the fastest way to get started on south london using Windows is via Powershell. the latest versions of Windows 10 include an `ssh` binary that you can use to connect to servers such as southlondon.cc.
to connect, just open up a powershell window and type
```powershell
ssh <your username>@southlondon.cc -i <ssh private key path>
ssh <your username>@southlondon.cc
```
if you see a warning asking you to verify the fingerprint, just type 'yes' and it'll connect you up to the server. congrats! you're now connected to south london!
if your keys are in a weird place, append `-i <path to your private key>` to make sure ssh can see them.

### the unix-y-ist: cmder + git bash
getting cmder is pretty easy, just head on down to [cmder.net]() and click 'Download Full'. the full download includes Git Bash, which emulates the bash command line inside windows. just unzip the folder and double click `Cmder.exe`.
now just run this command to connect
```bash
ssh <your username>@southlondon.cc -i <ssh private key path>
ssh <your username>@southlondon.cc
```
congrats! you're in.
if you haven't already used cmder to generate your keys, you'll need to append `-i <path to your private key>` to make sure ssh can see them.
say yes if it asks you to verify the fingerprint. if all goes well, you should be dumped into a prompt, you can now do whatever you need to do. pat yourself on the back, you've performed exquisitely.
