Solved Remote login to computer on Lan without ssh

I have a very old machine, maybe with version 9 on it, that I want to poke around in to look for a file. I'm not sure I have a monitor that can hook up to it so I tried to access it with ssh and I get
Unable to negotiate with 192.168.86.64 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss

So I tried to ftp into it and that works with the username and password I remember but I want to poke around some more and I don't know how to connect remotely to this box without ssh.

EDIT: Ooh! It's 6.2-RELEASE!
 
Maybe http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html

Another example, this time where the client and server fail to agree on a public key algorithm for host authentication:

Unable to negotiate with legacyhost: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss


OpenSSH 7.0 and greater similarly disable the ssh-dss (DSA) public key algorithm. It too is weak and we recommend against its use. It can be re-enabled using the HostKeyAlgorithms configuration option:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss user@legacyhost
