This guide gives detailed instructions on how to connect from various environments.
==SSH on Seneca Lab PCs==[[Image:MyApps-Search.jpg|thumb|right|263px|Fig 1. The ''Search Apps'' field on Seneca MyApps. ]]
#Boot up the PC normally, by default it will boot to Windows.
#Login to Windows using your MySeneca account.
#Find on the desktop the Seneca MyApps and double-click it to open.
#Find the search bar on the top left of the webpage (not the Firefox web browser search) that looks like the one below:, similar to ''Fig. 1''.
#Start typing "SSH Secure Shell Connection Client"
#Hover over the SSH Secure Shell Client thumbnail and then click "Launch"
#You should now be connected to Matrix.
==Home: SSH from Windows==#'''Connect to Seneca's Student VPN'''. (To install access to the VPN, go here: https://students.senecacollege.ca/spaces/186/it-services/wiki/view/1025/student-vpn)

#Left click one of the clients, and download to your desktop.
