So I'm new at using a mac laptop when configuring a Cisco switch. The command used:
ssh switch.work.com - l username
I'm then prompted for password but it's not accepting my credentials. I've tested this using putty on my Windows machine and I know they work. Is there an alternative program to Putty, preferably freeware? Or am I doing something wrong. Please know I'm new to macs, so bare with me.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You could try to put it in " " or escape the symbol:
"$username@host"
OR
\$username@host
OR
"\$username@host"
I'm not sure if any of these will work though...

Hi,
maybe you could try
Sure that your Putty is using SSH?

Tried that no luck. Yes using SSH at port 22

Mhh,...
which version von SSH are you using? Either Putty and MAC.
did you try:
debug ip ssh
show ssh
Maybe this can solve your problem

So I'm running ssh 2.0 and also noticed when I logged in using putty I was prompted to allow the rsa fingerprint. Does the Mac not ask for this?

what version of mac OS are you on? not all versions come with a built in ssh that negotiates version very well.
you can force a particular ssh version from the mac using
ssh -1 username@hostname
ssh -2 username@hostname

Apple OSX 10.6.8 and the commands above didn't do anything either.

ok,
Figured it out and hoping there's a workaround. My account has a symbol in front of it such as #username or $username.
