Authentication requires the passphrase. Once authenticated, MindTerm functions much like any familiar terminal session. Port Forwarding MindTerm's interface for setting up port forwarding takes a little more knowledge of port numbers on UNIX hosts. MindTerm also has an interface for secure copying of files. Files can be copied either direction.
Recursive copying can copy entire directories between client and host.
MindTerm's scp has a progress indicator for each file that is transferred. Authentication can use normal UNIX password, but across encrypted channel. After authentication, SSH Secure Shell functions like other terminal clients. Starting a process that spawns an X display will automatically forward the X display to the local X server. The X display will open on the local X server.
