# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
if your keys are in a weird place, append `-i <path to your private key>` to make sure ssh can see them.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
|
|
<!--syntax highlighting seems to fuck this up huh -->
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
# macOS and linux
|
|
crack open a terminal and run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ssh <your username>@southlondon.cc
|
|
```
|
|
if your ssh key is in a nonstandard place, you'll also need to append `-i <ssh private key path>`.
|
|
good job! you're in.
|
|
|
|
# using the webterm
|
|
if you're having trouble getting set up, you can use the webterm to login.
|
|
just click webterm on the homepage and type in your username and password.
|
|
|
|
# all finished?
|
|
just type `exit` or press `CTRL+D` to sever your connection.
|
|
|
|
# you might want to take a look at these too.
