Getting The Software

Windows

You should download and install PuTTY. If you already have PuTTY installed, but did not install the entire package, go to PuTTY. You can also use Cygwin. If you choose Cygwin, then follow the AIX directions for the rest of the steps.

AIX

Download and install OpenSSH. For a package that is kept up to date, statically built, and installs using installp go to Darren Tucker's site.
