Network clients

Here are the other recommended network clients:

Winzip

Connect to ntsww1, by selecting Run from the Start menu and entering \\ntsww1. (For some reason, the password doesn't get propagated properly, probably because of the domain. Use eecs\username as your user name and your departmental NT password as your password.) Double-click on Dist\Winzip\Winzip6.3\Winzip95 and Dist\Winzip\Winzip6.3\Wzinet95.

Unfortunately, the winzip browser extension does not install itself properly. Sorry....

info-zip

Get the files unz532xN.exe and zip22xN.zip from the info-zip archive and unpack them into a directory. Copy unzip.exe and zip.exe into the /bin directory for bash.

To create an archive for transfer, change to the directory and go:

    zip foo *

To unpack an archive:

    unzip -a foo 

The -a says to convert end-of-lines. This works in both directions.

Ssh (Secure shell)

Get the latest 32-bit version of Ssh from Christopher's Secure Shell Download Page. Exit all other applications and then double-click on the Setup icon. I installed the files in c:\networking\ssh.

BTW, the way that the encryption key is generated is very cool :-)

Here are the settings that Ssh need to be able to connect:

Remote host	kahn.eecs.berkeley.edu
User name	johnr
Compression	on
Forward X11	on
Port	22
Cipher	Blowfish
Authentication	Password

Exceed and friends

X-windows server, and includes a bunch of other networking utilities, including ftp. Copy (Control-drag) \\ntsww1\Dist\Internet Programs\eXceed\excd601-wnt and then double-click on the local copy. I installed in c:\networking\Exceed, and only installed a subset of the components: X server components, Xconfig, finger, FTP, talk, launchpad, lpq, manuals, nslookup, ping, remote tools, tar, traceroute, tarnsport monitor, xdis, xsession and xstart. Didn't reduce the disk space much (45 to 35 Megs), but reduced the size of the Exceed menu enormously.

The FTP client needs to be set to connect to port 21.
