required; a tutorial on chosing a terminal emulator #73

Closed hooliowobbits closed 4 years ago

hooliowobbits commented 4 years ago

recent changes to the tutorials have emphasized the use of ssh-keygen but most Windows users will not have this natively. content can be taken and re-used from https://gitlab.com/hoolio/tutorials.tpac.org.au/blob/master/tutorials/tpac/common-choosing-a-terminal-emulator/common-choosing-a-terminal-emulator.md

I can ssh, ssh-keygen and scp from the windows command prompt on my UTas issued Windows environment Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.418]

I think the recommendation for installing MobaXterm or WSL is still sound, and the recommendation not to use Putty for its unconventional user interface and connection model etc. is sound too.

Nectar's current advice is here

Yep. So should the advice form part of the Cloud starter series?
