SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition

• TectiaClient-version.msi

• TectiaConnector-version.msi

• TectiaServer-version.msi

These files can be found in the install/windows folder on your distribution media, or downloaded from the ssh.com web site, depending on how you purchased the products. The installers must be run by a user with administrative privileges. Installing the Connector package requires a reboot.

During interactive installation, you’ll see a series of dialogs; use these to specify the install directory if the default location is not appropriate. By default, Tectia products are installed within the Program Files folder in a Tectia subfolder named SSH Communications Security.^[168] Files for each product are collected in separate subfolders under the Tectia subfolder:

• SSH Secure Shell

• SSH Accession Lite

• SSH Tectia Connector

• SSH Secure Shell Server

We’ll refer to these as the “installation folders.” The installers also create entries in the Start/Programs menu, under the program groups:

• SSH Tectia Client

• SSH Tectia Connector

• SSH Tectia Server

The installer for the Client package optionally creates desktop icons for the GUI client application:

• SSH Tectia Client

• SSH Tectia Client - File Transfer
