NEW LEHIGH ACCOUNTS:

If you have never used the unix machines on campus, you must first connect to LEAF ( one of our mainframe computers) using the secure file transfer program named ssh. Then your account will be set correctly.

You must first install ssh if your computer does not have it installed.
To install this software go to LTS Security Downloads and follow the instructions for the Windows Operating System. For information about configuring SSH to work with the Windows firewall, go to XSetup
For more information, visit LTS Security Downloads, SSH Communications Security.

You may see a screen like this:

Click Yes and then it will ask you for your password. Enter your Lehigh password and you will be connected. This should do the trick, or the magic as the program says.
