What is the best ssh2 client that I can use

Asked By Maria Jacksonn 20 points N/A Posted on - 05/01/2013

What is the best client that I can use that is free and does not have a lot of ads in it? Please suggest. I was just told that I should not be using the Windows telnet tool, instead use a ssh2 client on my computer. My operating system is Linux and I don't have any idea about telnet or ssh clients. Please advise what I need to do. Thank you."

What is the best ssh2 client that I can use

Hi Maria Jacksonn,

 

If you are using a modern Linux installation (such as OS X Tiger, RHEL4) you should already have the right software for the usage of Protocol 2. 

 

Execute command: "ssh -v" in order to find out the ssh version on the client machine (must be v3.8, or higher), In case you need to install an SSH2 client, I recommend to consider "dbclient" which is very useful in environments with small memory.

"dbclient" is SSH2 based.

 

Refer to the image below in order to create an idea on how "dbclient SSH2" looks like ones installed.
