It also explains how to transfer files. The Unix method can also be used to go to another Unix machine from a Physics Department computer running Unix. <P> On general principles, any remote login sessions should be encrypted. That way an eavesdropper will not be able to see any passwords you type. The physics department does not support unencrypted logins. <P> Windows users will want software that supports at least a terminal session and file transfers. Such software is available free of charge. You can also get software that provides full X-terminal functionality. Usually, you have to buy a license, but X-win32 is available free of charge to University of Utah students and faculty. <P> Mac users with the X11 package installed can get a full terminal session using <code>ssh</code> and file transfers with <code>scp</code> as described below. <P> <HR><center> <table border=1> <td><img height=36 width=36 alt="" src="../../../icons/latex2html/previous_fade.gif"></td> <td> <A NAME="tex2html4" HREF="../../../classes/Lab_Manual/contents.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="UP" src="../../../icons/latex2html/up.gif"></A></td> <td> <A NAME="tex2html6" HREF="node1.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="NEXT" src="../../../icons/latex2html/next.gif"></A></td> <td><a href="contents-rsh.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="CONTENTS" src="../../../icons/latex2html/toc.gif"></a></td> </table> </center> <HR>  <HR><P><ADDRESS> <I></I> </ADDRESS> </BODY>
