Newbie wondering about a shell client

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if there was a free secure shell client available online that I can use to get onto my school account.

Thanks in advance!

There's no shortage of free secure shell clients.

Whether they'll give you access to your school account is a question for your school to answer. You should talk to them about it.

I do have access. I just can't find a secure shell client that doesn't give you a 30 or 45-day trial. I don't like going through telnet. Could you direct me to a good site?

PuTTY is a very common, and free, client

Thank you, Scott. I have seen PutTy (or however it's spelled) before. I guess what I'm looking for would be a SSH client that also is a file transfer client. It's helpful to transfer my stuff to Windows so I can print it out in Word when I need to.

Thanks again!

get putty and WinSCP.
Or use PSFTP as part of the putty distribution bundle.
