Hi Ester,
When entering terminal mode, I'm having problems with VoiceOver focusing on
where my cursor is. Would you say terminal is accessible? If it is, then
what am I missing that makes operating it so difficult? I'm a starter in
terminal mode on the mac, but I do know of complex command line syntaxes
from my DOS years. The cmd shell in windows is still my friend. What do I do
to work nicely in terminal? Any usability suggestions? I'm very interested
to start off with it.
Kindly,
Paul.

Hi Scott,
Your Mac has SSH and SFTP, and other server functions built in. You can
access them directly from the command line in the Terminal app. I use
Terminal so frequently that I have it as one of the default apps in my
dock. (The dock can be useful as a quick way to navigate to apps that
you use frequently -- you can customize it to remove the apps that you
don't often use, and add ones that you do.)
The Terminal app is located, not in the applications folder (which you
can reach in Finder with the shortcut of Command+Shift+A), but in the
Utilities folder, which is a sub-folder of Applications, and which you
can reach with Command+Shift+U. Then press "T" to navigate to "Terminal"
and launch/open the app. I use Command+Down arrow to do this.
By default you'll be using the bash shell. To use ssh, to log into your
account on another system you can simply type:
ssh <your login>AT<your domain>
for example, if your login account name is "scott" and the machine name
is "computer. granados.net", you can type:
ssh [email protected] and press return
or you can use the IP address in place of the domain following the AT
sign:
ssh [email protected] and press return
then type in your password.
Use a similar syntax for sftp. Macs use "Open SSH" as the protocol.
If you have some Unix/Linux background, there's an old web site: "Top Ten
Mac OS X Hints for Unix Geeks":
