How to Connect to a UNIX server
SFTP  Secure File Transfer
You can download the secure file transfer client from software.rutgers.edu
Log in with your netid and password and type in SSH into the search, it is the second link:
Secure Shell and FTP Client 

hostname: pegasus.rutgers.edu
username and password are your netid and password.

Another way to connect is with an SSH Terminal Client called Putty.
Google is the best way to find Putty. Just put in Putty in the search box, it's the first link.
