Putty can be downloaded for free at the following URL:

SecureCRT can be downloaded here:

Instructions to login by SSH: You need to switch your SSH client to SSH 
protocol 2 (the old protocol 1 is unsafe) and then you need to specify the 
username you want to login with. User "root" is (usually) not allowed to 
login by SSH. Login as "admin" instead and if you need root-rights to make 
changes, then type "su", press return and confirm with your admin password to 
gain SuperUser rights.
