I seen this on someone's site and i cant remember whos. It was a simple clean page that had only a login and password form, hosted from the server that you wish to login to.
After hitting OK it logged you into the server as a ssh session through your browser... Has anyone got any idea where i could get some information on how to do this. I have tried google but i cant find anything directed at my requirements. :eek:
 
I'd be a little concerned about running a SSH session from a website. It wouldn't take much for the host to capture anything going through it, which defeats the Secure bit of SSH.
 
I'd imagine that was MindTerm (example) That's the only "web-based" ssh client I've come across, and seeing as it's Java, it basically runs locally anyway :)
 
That wasnt at all like the version i seen on the site i know that much... but this is much better looking and feels alot nicer to use. The only reason i need one is for remote admin of my server if i cannot have access to other applications. For example a college network, where i am for the next fortnight doesnt allow software installation or downloading of anysort. So using a web browser to access my server is the only option.

Thanks SPeedY_B :D
 
How about sticking a copy of PuTTY on a disk? No need to install it, although it's still no use if you can't run any unauthorised apps.

MindTerm looks pretty useful and comes from a reputable source, although it'd still be worth while to keep an eye on the connections it makes when using it. A little paranoia is healthy ;)
 
I have the same problem thekore.
Need someway to do it. Thinking of *trying* to make one in php myself :D
 
i cant run any unauthorised apps Nick, i will look into Mindterm and test it out at home first

Do give me the URL, it would be nice to have some extra server space :p.
 
Thinking of making it run on localhost only (aka has to be on your server) that way less security probs :D
 
Uh huh, but to use it you would need to connect to it through http or https. And one coding mistake, and the server is open for abuse.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
