I've never used CRT, but putty is similar. Google for putty and you can download it for windows. It's only about a meg. From there you just enter in the IP address or hostname of the linux box you are trying to reach and choose ssh as the protocol. After you hit connect you'll be prompted for a username and password.

On the linux box you need to make sure that ssh is running, which most distros have it running by default, and also that your firewall will allow traffic to port 22 if you are running a firewall.

Oh. You already have it then. If you want to connect to another computer using the ssh protocol then do this:

Code:

ssh -l username IP_ADDR

You need to change the IP_ADDR to the ip address or host name of the computer you are connecting to. You need to change 'username' to the username you want to sign in with. The "-l username" is optional. If you leave it out it will try to connect with the username you are currently logged in as.

Is that more what you were looking for? If you type 'man ssh' it will give you more options you can use.
