SSH on Win32

Richard M · 19-03-2004, 19:52

I'm planning to start using the built-in remote access in Windows XP Pro to remotely control my PC from work but in case it doesn't work I'll be using something like SSH as a backup system.

My question is: when I use SSH on Win32, will it drop me at the command line like it does on Linux?

Have you got an ssh server ? if you run linux then you will have. If so then you can run putty from work and make an ssh tunnel for nearly any port...... I use vnc via mine....

If you want to use remote desktop just map port 3389 on your firewall to your work IP only.

I use Cygwin with OpenSSH on WinXP for exactly the same purpose. VNC that is, not XP's Remote Connection. I use a password-protected security certificate because I'm a bit paranoid

Thanks for the replies so far, some good ideas here.

Nice...
I'm currently connected to my home PC/network via my work PC by using the built-in Remote Desktop.
It's like sitting in front of it!

my "downloading" machine is setup for remote desktop behind my router i also have ICQ installed on it and if im at work and see something i need tod/l i just send the link to icq and pick it up later when i get home..

its great for getting an early start on some edonkey downloads just connect and click ..
