Step 1: Install PuTTY on the Ridgeline Client
PuTTY is a free SSH application that can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Download the file putty.exe. This program is not compressed (zipped) and does not require installation.
You must download this application to each Ridgeline client for which you want to secure your
client-server communication.
Step 2: Configure the PuTTY Client
1 Configure the Session settings:
Click on the Session category in the left column tree, as shown in Figure 253. Use the following
settings:
● Saved Sessions = a name for the session, such as Network Manager.
● Host Name = the Host name or IP address of the Ridgeline server (192.168.10.199 in the
example).
● Protocol = SSH
● Port = 22
