web based ssh

[aloysius]

Years ago the smoothwall (and i believe ipcop) distributions had a ssh shell built into their web gui. i found this feature invaluable on my headless firewall system. Now i am running ubuntu center on my file server which is also headless. It would be great to have ssh built into the center to allow me to ssh from net cafes etc.
I believe the following does what im talking about:
http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/sshwebproxy/

or perhaps this (requires horde which is useless in ubuntu center though):
http://www.horde.org/jeta/

this seems to be the best...pure php so no client side requirements:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2477.html

and final link of relevance:
http://cgi-shell.binaervarianz.de/

also..whilst searching for this i found the following...which might also be cool to have in this project:
http://weeblefm.sourceforge.net/

cheers for a great product btw...i love it.

Try webmin.

Hi,
I haven't worked on Hive/Ubuntu Center in a while, I simply haven't had time. When I am on break this summer I should be able to get some work done and hopefully get a release out. Of course I have said this many times in the past 6 months and delivered very little.

About SSH web client, I probably wouldn't have this included in Hive by default, but I could very easily make a plugin that does this and have it for download.

Webmin does have some kind of web client for SSH, but I have never actually used it. (putty + flashdrive here)

Only like a month left of school!

Try this -


https://www.browsershell.com

http://webssh.50webs.com/ is my favorite, same principle as the other webbased sshclients but free.

That doesn't use SSL, thats why its free! its very insecure.

the thing i don't like about browsershell.com is that it claims to be "100% secure" which is (of course) not the case for any web based ssh client. read the tutorial on web shell security provided on

http://www.serfish.com/console

- what is said there is valid for any web based ssh client. moreover. there are free (adbased) alternatives which make use of ssl/https. just use google to find such free web based ssh clients or have a look at the consoleFISH for example, which is available next to the mentioned security tutorial. other alternatives to browsershell.com and serfish.com are gotossh.com and my.anyterm.org -> so:

1. be aware of the security issues and
2. find yourself the most trustworthy provider if you want/have to use web based shell access anyway.
