iristerminal connect securely with IRIS running on Linux hosts via SSH

Window's utility, iristerminal, can only connect to IRIS running on Linux hosts with telnet protocol. telnet is not considered secure as all communication is in plaintext.

Most organisations do not permit the use of telnet on Linux hosts.

Secure communication can be achieved with ssh protocol

iristerminal should support ssh protocol

I agree those workarounds aren't ideal. We are working on a better long-term solution for Windows users.

Yes I have read those articles.

However there are 2 problems:
- the suggested solution is extremely complicated
- iristerminal should support the ssh protocol "out of the box". ssh is standard across most organization for the last decade. Telnet which is what iristerminal supports is way out of date
