The recommended program to use is PuTTY. Download the putty.exe file at the link provided. The following guide will assume you are using PuTTY.
 * Open PuTTY
 * On the main screen, under Host Name (or IP address), type gluey.phys.uconn.edu
 * In the Saved Sessions box type gluey and click the save button
 * In the left tree structure go to Connection->SSH->Tunnels. This grants the local source port the ability to see through a "tunnel" to the remote port. If a VNC session is desired then the port number here needs to match the port number of the VNC session. In this example a VNC session would need to be port 60. Only add 1 tunnel. Choose your own port number.
 * In Source Port type 5960
 * In Destination type gluey.phys.uconn.edu:5960 and click the Add button
 * In the tree structure go to Window->Colours
 * If you would like your terminal to be black with white text leave the box Use system colours unchecked
 * If you would like your terminal to be white with black text check the box Use system colours
 * Return to the main screen (at the top of the tree structure click Session) and click the save button again
 * With gluey loaded you can now click open
 * The first time you connect a window should pop up. Click yes to connect, then login with your provided username and password
 * After entering your password this will put you in your home directory (/home/username)
 * After the initial setup, logging in requires you to open PuTTY and opening your saved gluey session
