• Download and install the ROSI terminal emulation program (Hummingbird Host Explorer) as usual.
• Install the SSH Client
• Run SSH and test to see if your SSH installation is working
  • Have SSH connect using the following:
    1. Host Name: splash.utcs.utoronto.ca
    2. User Name: your securid username (note: this is your Admin Systems username, not your ROSI username at this stage of the login!)
    3. Password: a passcode generated using your SecurID card and PIN
    Your first connection should result in the following dialog appearing:
    Select Accept and Save
