Mind Term SSH Applet
The MindTerm java applet should now be downloading to your computer. Depending on the speed of your network connection, there may be a short pause. You should then see a MindTerm window on your screen. If you do not, check that your browser has java enabled, and reload this page.
As the applet launches, your browser will probably prompt you to grant the applet permission to access your network and system. Grant any requests, but we suggest that you make sure not to have the browser remember the decision.
Depending on the kind of computer you are using, you may also be asked whether to creat a SSH home directory on that computer. In the interests of leaving behind as little information as possible, and minimising disturbance to the machine, we suggest that you do not create any directories. The same goes for any later prompts, for example about adding information to any files and so on.
After it has loaded, MindTerm will suggest linux.pv.infn.it as the host to connect to. If you wish to connect to a different computer, delete 'linux.pv.infn.it', and type in a different name and press Enter. The username will default to your username on the computer you are using, edit it if necessary and press Enter.

Warning:
Although SSH programs like MindTerm reduce the risks associated with sending your password and other information across the network, you may still be at risk from snooper programs running on the computer that you are using. If you do use MindTerm to access systems from an Internet cafe', we strongly recommend that you change your password as soon as you return to your workstation.
