Getting To Quartz via SSH

  1. You will need an SSH client. I recommend PuTTY because it is free, and is a self-contained executable; you should not need administrator privileges to use it. Click here to download PuTTY. Save the putty.exe file somewhere easy to find.
  2. Double-click the putty.exe icon. You will see this screen (link opens in new window).
  3. In the "Host Name (or IP address) box, type "quartz.org".
  4. Under "protocol", make sure the "SSH" option is selected.
  5. In the "Saved Sessions" box, type "Quartz SSH".
  6. Your screen should look like this (link opens in new window).
  7. Click the "Save" button.
  8. Double-click the "Quartz SSH" entry you just created and a shell window will open. The login is "bbs" and the password is "bbs".
  9. Welcome back to Quartz.
