Pscp and Putty for Windows tutorial
-----------------------------------
Feb, 2001
Parallel Architecture Research Lab
The following is a brief tutorial on how to both install and use the
pscp and putty Windows programs. Putty is an ssh client, which allows
you to log onto remote machines in a manner similar to telnet. Pscp is
an scp client, which allows you to copy files to and from remote
machines. Both of these offer a bit of an improvement in security over
traditional login methods and are therefore prefered method of accessing
workstations in the PARL lab.
1) Downloading and installing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to use putty and pscp, you must first download them onto your
computer. Use your favorite ftp client or web browser to go to
the ftp://ftp.parl.clemson.edu/pub/ssh/win/ directory. If prompted for
a password, enter the word "anonymous" and use your email address as a
password. Here you will find two files, 'pscp.exe' and 'putty.exe'.
Copy both of them into the c:\windows directory on your Windows
computer. That's all you have to do. Both programs are now installed
and can be launched from any command prompt. (Note: the command prompt
program can be found on most Windows machines by selecting "Start
Menu -> Programs -> MSDOS prompt"
2) Using pscp to copy a file to Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to copy a file from PARL into the current directory on your
Windows machine, the syntax is as follows:
pscp <username>@<name of workstation>:<dir of file>/<filename> .
For example, if I wanted to copy a file called test.txt from my home
directory:
pscp fred@styx.parl.clemson.edu:/parl/fred/test.txt .
If I wanted to copy all of the files from that directory:
pscp "fred@styx.parl.clemson.edu:/parl/userid/*" .
pscp will always prompt you for a password.
3) Using pscp to copy a file from Windows to PARL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to copy a file from your windows machine to a PARL machine,
you can use the following syntax:
pscp <filename> <username>@<hostname>:<dir to put in>
For example, if I wanted to copy the same file back into a directory on
my PARL account:
pscp test.txt fred@styx.parl.clemson.edu:/parl/userid/newdir/
pscp will always prompt you for a password.
4) Using putty to log in
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Putty can be started by opening a command prompt and typing putty. You
can even make a shortcut to your desktop if you would like to. Once you
have started putty, it will prompt you with a dialog box. Simply type
the name of the machine you wish to login to in the hostname box, and
select the "ssh" button just below it. When you click "Open" it will
start a terminal window and prompt you for a username and password.

Please contact a PARL system administrator if you have any questions.
Thank you!
