Normally, an SSH server on windows can be setup using CYGWIN. There was a stand-alone product before called OpenSSH but the product is on-hold because of improvement on CYGWIN. I've never configured an SSH server on windows but I do use CYGWIN as my SSH client. I hate to say you can just goggle it but it seems that my office network blocks information related to this. Grrrrrrr.
Another alternative is to use VirtualBox or VMWare Server (or any similar application) and install a full Linux system on a virtual machine. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joey K Tuttle Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 7:06 AM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] J on the iPhone? Ian, Sorry to say that "I don't do windows" ... I have jconsole running in Linux and Mac OS X. Since those environmnets are evolved from UNIX (well DOS was too, but ....) they have always had multi-user "terminal support" - originally a TELEX but later glass terminals like the VT100 which is what PuTTy (and consequently issh) emulate. The tiny font works fine for learning about j, but does require very good eyes (or in my old eyes case, strong glasses...) Maybe one of the (majority here) Windos users can comment on how to set up a remote terminal session. I would be interested in that answer too. Meanwhile, if there isn't an easy answer to remote access to Windos, I could set up a shell account on an old/slow Linux system for you. If you want to try that, let's go "off forum" to discuss it. - joey At 18:37 +0100 2008/09/03, Ian Gorse wrote: >Hi Joey > >Do you mind kindly elaborating on your process to do this? > >With your recommendation I got myself issh but I have nothing to connect to. > >How do I go about setting up jconsole to act as a server.
