 +{{computing:department:windows:03_-_how_to_start.jpg|How to start}}
 +
 +
 +In the start a program window, type the name of the Unix/Linux program you want to run. The program "xterm" opens a shell prompt window, where you can run more programs, so it is a good choice.
 +Below that, choose Using Putty, in the remote section. For server to connect to, you can enter any Unix/Linux machine, or **''ssh.physics.umn.edu''** for the general department computing server.  Fill in your physics username and password, and click Next:

 +{{computing:department:windows:04_-_run_remote.jpg|Run Remote}}
 +
 +
 +Leave all the parameters options blank, and click Next:
 +
 +{{computing:department:windows:05_-_parameters.jpg|Parameters}}
 +
 +
 +Now click Finish, and your connection will be started:

 +{{computing:department:windows:06_-_finish.jpg|finish}}
 +
 +
 +The first time you use it, you will see a box to verify the certificate is correct for the server you are connecting to. You can click "Yes" and it will remember this host for next time:
