Using SSH to Connect to Duracef (Macintosh)

Mac OS 8.x - 9.x Mac OS X

Mac OS 8.x - 9.x

Macintosh Operating Systems below OS X do not include SSH software by default. We recommend using a free client called NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH to connct to duracef.shout.net. Once installed, run this program by double clicking on the icon it creates and follow the instructions below to set it up:

  1. In the New Connection window Click the New button.

  2. In the Telnet Shortcut window, enter the name you wish to call this connection in the Shortcut Name field. In this example the shortcut was named duracef.
  3. Enter duracef.shout.net in the Host Name field.
  4. Select SSH - Blowfish from the Protocol drop down menu.
  5. Click the Save As ... button to open the Save dialog window.

  6. In the Save dialog window, enter duracef (or the Shortcut Name you entered in step 2) and click the Save button.

  7. You should now see a shortcut to duracef listed in the New Connection window. To connect to the server, highlight the entry in the Shortcut field and click on the Connect button.

  8. In the SSH Login window, enter your username and password and click the Login button.

  9. If you are connecting for the first time a Host Identification Alert window will pop up and ask if you want to accept the public key. Click on the Accept & Save button and the SSH session to duracef will begin, from which you may change your E-mail password. If you have a full shell account you may also manage your files or check your E-mail with PINE. Type exit to end the session when you have finished.

Mac OS X

Macintosh Operating System X comes preloaded with SSH software, so nothing needs to be installed. Follow the instructions below to connect to duracef.shout.net from a Mac running OS X.

On your desktop from the menu under Go:

  1. Select Applications.
  2. Open the Utilities folder.
  3. Double-click the Terminal utility.

  4. In the Terminal window which opens, type one of the following at the command prompt:
    ssh username@duracef.shout.net

    -OR-

    ssh -l username duracef.shout.net

    Be sure to replace username with the username you usually typed in when using telnet.

  5. The first time you attempt to connect, you will get a message similar to, "The authenticity of host 'duracef.shout.net' can't be established...." Reply yes to this message.
  6. Next you will be prompted for your password. After supplying the correct password the SSH session to duracef will begin, from which you may change your E-mail password. If you have a full shell account you may also manage your files or check your E-mail with PINE.
  7. Type exit to end the session when you have finished.
