SSH Client : Windows #1

 

Configure SSH Client for Windows.

[6]
Download a SSH Client software for Windows.
On this example, it uses Putty (www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
Install and start Putty, then Input your server's Hostname or IP address on [Host name] field and Click [Open] button to connect.
[7] After successing authentication, it's possible to login and operate openSUSE server from remote computer.

SSH Client : Windows #2

[8] If you are using Windows 11, OpenSSH Client has been implemented as a Windows feature, so it's possible to use [ssh] command on PowerShell or Command Prompt without Putty or other 3rd party SSH softwares.
