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

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

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 Tectia shortcut menu, see Tectia Shortcut Menu (Windows and Linux).
