'''Secure Shell''' or '''SSH''' is a secure means of controlling a remote machine.
 
 
==Closing a Hung Session==
 
Type enter, tilde (~), period, enter to exit a hung SSH session.
 
 
==Tunneling==
 
You can tunnel single ports or run a socks proxy with SSH. Google for SSH forwarding or see the howto below.
 
=== Example ===
 
====Socks proxy====
 
This will open a Socks proxy on port 6969. Configure your applications to proxy through localhost:6969 to use the tunnel.
 
ssh -D 6969 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
 
 
====Tunnel single port====
 
This opens a tunnel to milton.vtluug.org which is redirected through acidburn.
 
ssh -L 6969:milton.vtluug.org:22 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
 
now, on your machine, open a new shell, and run:
 
ssh localhost -p 6969 -l wadsworth
 
to ssh into milton as wadsworth.
