This section gives basic instructions on how you can log in from SSH Tectia Client to a Secure Shell server with the default settings. The default settings on SSH Tectia Client and SSH Tectia Server allow login with passwords, public keys, and GSSAPI.

There are separate instructions on using the SSH Tectia terminal GUI on Windows to connect to a remote server host see Logging in with SSH Tectia Terminal GUI (on Windows)) and on using sshg3 on the command line on Windows and Unix (see Logging in with Command-Line sshg3).

SSH Tectia Client includes a shortcut menu that helps configuring the connection settings, and in viewing the status of the connections and authentication keys. For a description of the SSH Tectia shortcut menu, see SSH Tectia Shortcut Menu (Windows).
