[Paraview-developers] [Non-DoD Source] Re: xterm -e ssh for windows and mac (UNCLASSIFIED)

On ARL windows machines, putty is installed almost by default somewhere on the 
system. I believe the binary windows version with DSRC machines profile 
download at https://daac.hpc.mil/software/ParaView/ , Richard Walters will add 
the default putty installation location to the configuration file to point to 
the right putty.

But from time to time, that will break and we will get a ticket from the user 
and we will remind them to use the right putty.

Thanks

Putty is used by the DoD for Windows kerberos authorized access to their HPC 
resources. I'm happy using it. It also seems to be available through Gnu On 
Windows (Caution-http://freecode.com/projects/gow < 
Caution-http://freecode.com/projects/gow > ) which is also quite easy to 
install. If we go to this solution I'd recommend not including the full path 
to plink as that changes but the installer adds the plink executable to the 
Windows path.

	Potential suggestions:
	1. Defer including plink/putty in ParaView downloads. We need to
	figure things out, it seems as far as what's legal and what's secure.
	2. Add docs to the ParaView Help menu on obtaining SSH. We can even
	include a new PDF like the Quick Start Guide that's linked in from the
	Help  menu as well as on the "Connect To" dialog to help users get SSH
	client on their system.
