“I first learned about ssh when I became involved in an IRC
server that required it. I thought that it was going to be a
problem to install because when you hear the word “security”, you
say to yourself, “Good Gosh .. I am gonna have to get this, then
that, then the other …”

“Well, I am here once again to give you assurance that it is no
where as bad as you think. Within a few minutes, I had ssh up and
running, and also found a few cool ssh clients for those people
that are using IP MASQuerading from a windows machine. I have also
listed some links to where you can get some cool clients for
Windows.”

The two current versions of ssh is SSH and SSH-2. The
difference between the two lies in the protocols. However, whatever
your needs are, this guide will pretty much help you install either
one. My emphasis will be on ssh.
