 Once connected to the server, you will be presented with a Linux command line.  If unfamiliar with the Linux environment, here is a link to a [[https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/command-line-for-beginners|quick guide]] that covers the basics of Linux shell operation.
+To use Key access, refer to the following page: [[access:sshkeys| Using SSH Keys]]
 ==== Private servers ====
 Some CIM computers are on a private (internal) McGill vlan (10.69.54.0/23).  These servers cannot be accessed directly from the internet.  To access these computers, you can use the McGill vpn to get on the McGill network, or you can use any public CIM server as an ssh jump host.  (SSH jump hosts are a way to proxy ssh connections through one server to access another)

 ==== PuTTY ====
-If you are on another type of operating system, we suggest using an ssh client such as [[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html|PuTTY]] to connect to CIM computers.
+The Windows commandline now includes an SSH client, but if you routinely log into a remote system from your Windows machine we recommend using an SSH client such as[[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html|PuTTY]] to connect to CIM computers.
 When you open PuTTY, you'll be presented with a configuration screen where only two options need to be configured, the server address (barn.cim.mcgill.ca) and the connection type (SSH).
