To make an SSH connection in TinyTERM Plus 4.x, do the following:

1. From TinyTERM’s Edit menu, select Session Properties.
2. Under Connection type, select SSH. (If SSH is not available, you have TinyTERM rather than TinyTERM Plus.)
3. In the Emulation drop-down list, select the terminal emulation required by your host.
4. In the Host name, IP address, or phone number box, enter the hostname or IP address of the server.
5. Click OK to close the Session Properties dialog.
6. From TinyTERM’s File menu, select Save Session.
7. Click the Connect button.
8. A login dialog will come up. Enter your username and password, then click OK.
9. If this is the first time you’ve used TinyTERM to connect to the particular host, a fingerprint dialog will come up. Click OK to continue connecting.

For video instructions, please see this screencast.

TERM for SCO UNIX  and TERM for Linux version 6.28 also have the ability to connect via SSH. To do this, you’ll need to start TERM from the command line like so:

term -lssh:user@host.or.ip

Replace “user” with the appropriate username, and “host.or.ip” with the hostname or IP address of the target system.
