Setup Instructions
Please make sure that you have completed the following setup precedure before arriving at the training session. Please arrive early if you have any problems and require help from an instructor.
Overview
Secure Shell & Secure Copy
ssh (secure shell) is an encrypted remote login tool. It lets you connect to remote resources, such as the OSG Connect login node and interact with the machine via UNIX shell.
Similarly, scp (secure copy) is a tool that facilitates encrypted file transfer. We will use both to interact with OSG Connect.
