You can download the SSH program from the UIC ACCC pages (but I think you have to be at an on-campus machine). Another alternative for secure file transfer is Filezilla (under host use sftp://ernie.cs.uic.edu, and use port 22). Look here for PuTTY (secure terminal window, and command-line file transfer using PsFTP). Get SecureCRT and SecureFx through the university's site license through the e-sales software site (netid login required).
