Re: [misterhouse-users] More secure socket port connection with office computer?

[Steve S. <st...@sw...>]

Hello all,
   I run a Linux box as my SSH server, but this will work with a windows SSH
server, too. As a matter of fact, this website sells a windows SSH server,
as well as a client that's nothing but a port forwarder, not a terminal
client with port forwarding tacked on. I like Putty for shells, but I prefer
tunnelier for port forwarding, as it's easier to configure, and see what's
happening.

Their newest version is a trial and requires registration. It is a little
better, in that is minimizes to the system tray, but that's about the only
benefit I see. If you want the pervious version, which was given away free
on their website, you can download it from my site below, rather that me
bogging down the list with an attacment that not everyone wants.

It will only be on this site for a few days...

Enjoy!

Steve
