Web-Based SSH
This webpage describes the steps for using SSH via your web browser to
connect to research.kent.edu. Your browser will run an AppGate
Java SSH client which may require Java plug-ins that you do not have.
This SSH client does not work
on Macintoshes.
- Verify that Java is enabled
in your browser's Preferences (Netscape) or Internet Options
(IE)
- Click Java link for instructions on setting your preferences.
- In your browser for the Location or Address enter www.personal.kent.edu

- A warning shows up in your browser window along with one or
two other, smaller warning windows. Grant permission in those
windows.

- A new window (MindTerm/AppGate) opens
- If the Server/Alias at the bottom is not already set to zoloft.net.kent.edu,
enter that (you may need to press Enter first)

- In that new window you will be prompted for your login (User
ID) and password
- You are now logged into research.kent.edu in Shell or Menu
mode, depending what your default is.

- In that new window you will be prompted for your login (User
ID) and password (Over type helpdesk with your userid
ID and press Enter.)
- You are now logged into research.kent.edu in Shell or Menu
mode, depending what your default is.
- To copy files to and from research.kent.edu select the SCP
File Transfer.... found under File on the main menu.

window with your local and remote files listed

- Navigate to find the the specific directories/files you want on both
the Local and Remote systems by highlighting [..] and clicking
ChgDir

if your local system is a PC; a directory listing is displayed under
Local System; then you can navigate your C-drive to find a file you
want to send; on the remote side you can enter public_html to point
to that remote directory.
- If you copied a webpage to research.kent.edu, verify that the
public can view it by trying to view it yourself with a browser. If
you get a "Forbidden"
error, you do not need to set permisions for the public to view
your page
- Remember to exit your SSH window when you have finished copying
files and computing on zoloft.net.kent.edu so no one else has
access to your account. To exit just click the red x in the upper right-hand
corner of ther screen.
