Connecting over SSH on Microsoft Windows 7 and 10

Note

To automatically initiate SSH connections you must install PuTTY and configure association between client the app and the SSH protocol. To do the latter it is advised to install WinSCP, which will perform necessary configuration changes. Both programs must be in their 32-bit versions.

  1. Download and install WinSCP.
